Moving Into College As A Freshman Is Total Madness

Moving into college, as a freshman, and the craziness that comes along with it.

Moving Into College As A Freshman Is Total Madness
Emily Saravia

Every college student deals with moving into their dorm if they are staying on campus. But what no one tells you is how hectic the whole moving in situation really is.

Unloading cars is the craziest part. You put everything on the curb and move your car so the next people can pull up to empty their cars. Then you bring everything to your room which is more than likely going to be on an upper floor. Bringing in your things is crazy because everyone is trying to do everything all at once. Everyone is in everyone's way and you become impatient, hot and sweaty. You can either wait for the elevator, which is massively slow from all the people using it, or you can carry your 59-pound items up three flights of stairs.

After the things are up and in your room is when you can finally breathe and relax. Personally, however, I find unpacking and decorating the room the hardest part of the move in process. It takes time and patience and creativity. All of which I lack whenever I'm wore out from bringing up box after box to the third floor.

On the plus side, everyone helping us move in is incredibly kind and helpful. They are more than willing to lend a hand and help you move in and that makes a world of difference.

Once you've officially moved in, decorated and made your room your new home, the realization finally hits you that this is it. This is you moving out and becoming an adult. It's the beginning of your life and it's all up to you from here.

Having a good move in experience is important to have a positive and happy first day and college experience.

You start your own destiny today, so make it count.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
