Transfers all have challenges their first year at another college, no matter why they transferred, or where they transferred from. These are 10 things that transfers feel their first year at their new college.
1. When you're so done with the whole orientation weekend
I just can't deal with 4 sessions about how to study in college
2. You feel like a freshman again
Where are my classes? Why is this campus so big?
3. The feeling you get when you're asked if you are a freshman
No, no I am not, I am NOT one of those people.
4. The feeling you get when you can't decide who your roommate is going to be
Please let them be cool, please!!!
5. The feeling you get when you love your new roommate
Thank the heavens above they were cool.
6. The feeling you get when you meet another transfer
Wait, there is someone who understands my inner turmoil and understands what I'm going through??
7. The feeling you have when you have to take a freshman course
I'm surrounded by small children, I shouldn't be in this course!!
8. The feeling you get when a freshman in said freshmen course asks a million questions
Person in the front, there is a strict 5 question per hour rule, and you just demolished that! Did you seriously just ask about the homework that was assigned for today, that the teacher forgot about?
9. The feeling you get when you go to a new student gathering just for the free food
Oh there is a zip line? Cool! Cute boys? Cool Free College swag? That's cool... PIZZA!!!
10. When you miss your friends from your old college
Its especially tough when your best friend now lives over 8 hours away, and you will probably never see them again.
11. When you step foot into the Registrar's office for any reason
What do you mean its going to take me an extra semester to graduate?? But last time I was in here you said I could graduate on time??
12.When you get to college and have no friends
Last semester I had a social life.... now my social life is dead.
13. When you find that person who has potential to become your new best friend
I love you, so love me back? No? Well, ok I guess...
14. When you eat meals alone
How many social interactions have I had this week you ask? Only about 3, and one of them was a mandatory group project.
Transferring is a struggle for anyone, and you don't necessarily fit into the role of a "normal college student." But no matter the struggles, whether we had a great year, or a not so great year, we love our school and are glad we transferred.
