Rory Gilmore and I have almost everything in common from her extensive amount of guy problems to the need for coffee to be able to operate for at least half a day. I know this is so cliché, another girl relating to a fictional character but its true! Another thing we have in common is the amount of stress, excitement, and overthinking that has been caused by the transition from the high school realm to the college one.

Well, if you're an incoming freshman who understands even the smallest part of what I'm talking about then please stay tuned because I have an article that will make you feel all these emotions all over again!

1. Are college graduations as long and boring as high school?

Giphy

My school wouldn't even let us decorate our own caps!

2. Why does everyone keep asking me about my future? I have no clue what I want to do Linda stop asking!

Giphy

There's always that one group of people who constantly ask you; "what do you want to be when you grow up?"

3. Why can't I just submit one application that all colleges could share?

Giphy

I applied to seven colleges. Copy and paste was my new best friend.

4. Idea: colleges take so long to review our applications as a form of torture.

Giphy

Checking your application status is like tracking your package right after you checkout.

5. Who cares if they rejected me, I'm too good for them anyway.

Giphy

Once again: the application procces was meant as a form of torture.

6. Does everyone make a college pro/con list or is it just me?

Giphy

My pro/con list helped me choose FGCU!

7. Wait. Is freshman 15 a real thing?

Giphy

I need to find a gym ASAP!

8. You expect me to leave my mom? Lol you should be a comedian!

Giphy

I can't even make my own appointments without my mom, how do expect me to live on my own?!

9. Please assign me a good roommate, please assign me a good roommate, please assign me a good roommate!

Giphy

They should make a speed dating event but for roomates instead.

10. I'm already stressing over finals and classes havn't even started yet.

Giphy

Seriously though I havn't even moved onto campus yet and i've thought about this way too many times.

11. Why.Is.College.So.Expensive?

Giphy

This education better be worth the student loans.

12. What teacher wants to give a lesson at the butt crack of dawn?

Giphy

The only morning class I have is my four hour science one. My professor better allow coffee.

13. Do you think the professor would notice if I skipped my 8 am class?

Giphy

I won't skip class, but boy will I think about it every time I hear my alarm.

14. Can we have Keurigs?

Giphy

For all the coffee lovers out there the answer is yes, yes we can have Keurigs.

15. College is going to be SO COOL!

Giphy

I'm so excited!

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.

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.
