As a Freshman, college is a scary and daunting place. So many events, dates, people, and it's all a blur. The first week is exhausting, new, and exciting. It intimidating and promising. I don't know if I would call it fun, but I would definitely call it an adventure. One that's pretty easy to get lost on, but good thing Spongebob has our back.
When Welcome Weekend is finally here
It's the weekend you've been waiting for AND dreading because it means the start of the next chapter and the biggest adventure of your life.
And then you realize how many people there are and you know none of them
There are so many people and you know none of them.
When you finally make a couple of friends
There is nothing better as a scared Freshmen than finding a group of people to spend the evening with.
Then you get split up and never see them again
Because there are so many people it's so easy to lose them in the crowd and never see them again.
Prepping for the first day of class
Color coding, reading the syllabus before class, making sure you have all of your books, and trying to remember everything you need can be overwhelming.
The moment you see how long the syllabus is
This really isn't high school anymore, is it?
Organizing your planner
There's nothing like knocking off your To-Do list (even if it is just organizing your planner) and feeling like maybe you will have it all together.
The first day of classes
You finally feel like a big kid who's ready to learn everything the class has to offer.
When you know NO ONE in your stadium class
How can there be 330 of you and not a single soul you recognize?
When there are 3 hours between your classes and you have nothing to do
You don't really know anyone, you've already eaten, and you have nothing, but syllabus, to look at from classes.
When you call your Mom
It's nice to know someone believes in you.
Leaving your last class of the week
The best part of the week? Knowing you'll never have to go through the first week as a Freshmen ever again.
