Going to college can be an overwhelming experience. Everything you have come to know during the last 18 years of your life has just changed. I didn't handle that so gracefully, here was a look inside my mind during my first week at the University of New Hampshire.

1. Why do I completely forget how to make friends right now?

I came to college with the attitude that I was going to be this brand new person, I'd be super happy and bubbly, and then I got here and it was like I forgot what words were.

2. Yay! Pizza for dinner!

Freshman 15 here I come!

3. Why is everything so far away!?

Seriously? Walking 8 miles a day isn't going to work for me.

4. Oh, I have class in 50 minutes, I should probably leave now.

Usually, this would end in me getting to class half an hour early, but I just wanted to make sure to leave some extra time in case I got lost.

5. I'm going to go to the gym every day!

Until I realized the gym is almost a 30-minute walk from me, why go work out when walking to and from the gym is a workout in itself?

6. Oh Pizza for dinner, again.

That's okay, at least I'm burning off the calories with all this walking I'm doing!

7. I literally have no idea where anything is.

Day 2 I got lost for 40 minutes walking in circles around campus, and it was almost a hundred degrees outside.

8. Okay, class is over, time to party!

except... I don't know anyone...on second thought, Netflix it is.

9. I want to go home.

HOME! Where I actually have friends! maybe I can super senior at my high school.

10. My professor let me out of class half an hour early!

Wow, I love college classes!

11. Oh, pizza for dinner....again.

I'm really starting to miss mom's cooking.

12. I miss my dog.

How am I supposed to be away from my best friend for the next four years?

13. I miss high school.

I miss the friends, the teachers, the sports, everything.

14. My professor kept us four minutes late!

Class ends at 12:30, it's 12:34! I hate college classes!

15. *Seeing people post pictures with your best friend*

You can't call them your best friend, they're mine. ):

16. Pizza for dinner..AGAIN...

Mom I can't do this anymore. I'd rather just eat air.

17. Shoes in the shower? This just feels wrong.

18. Why do I still have no friends?

Seriously, how does one meet people?

19. I miss my TV shows

Sure, I could go to the lounge on the other side of the building..but even then I'll have to share it with other people, and watch whatever they're watching. No Bachelor in Paradise for me.

20. I miss my bed.

My comfy bed that has belonged to me and only me. I don't even want to think about how many people have slept on my mattress at school.

21 (Bonus!) I CAN'T WAIT TO VISIT HOME!

If nothing else, college has taught me to appreciate being home with family, friends, and privacy. It's a big change being in school but it's nice to know I'll always be able to come home.
