When I first started college, I had no concerns. Everything, and I mean everything was fair game because that's how you're supposed to live your life when you're a freshman in college. Coming to a place that I knew only a handful of people and leaving my life in my hometown behind was something I'd never experienced before and I didn't plan on wasting a second of it. So, freshman year, I colleged, and i colleged hard. No regrets, of course. However, as time goes on, you start to realize that college is more than just beer pong and easy A's. You will start to see yourself transitioning into an upgraded version of your underclassmen self, or in some cases, maybe a more obnoxious version of yourself. The latter of those two is not commonly seen, as that person is more likely known as "the college dropout". See how you compare below to the changes seen when transitioning from an underclassman to an upperclassman.

House Parties to Bars

Underclassmen: Its all about the glow-light basement parties full of cheap kegs of beer and sweaty dancers grinding on each other

Upperclassmen: If you're not 21 yet, you most likely are looking into getting a fake ID because all of your friends are interested in going downtown and are over the sweaty-basement parties that everyone used to be SO into.

One Million Half-Friends to A Good Group of Close-Knit Friends

Underclassmen: When you first came to your college town, you were eager to meet people in hopes of finding a few that could potentially become your best friends. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. Hang out with as many people as you can so you can find the right fit for what you are looking for in a friend. Whether these people are just your drunken buddies, dorm acquaintances or that guy you always happen to see in the cafeteria, they all count as friends freshmen year.

Upperclassmen: Although you always still chat with old acquaintances and occasionally see them on campus or downtown, you've come to find what a true friend really means to you. You've been in your college town for long enough now to without a doubt be able to point out someone and say, "That's my best friend!".

Twin Bunk Beds to A Real Adult Bed

Underclassmen: Unfortunately, freshmen year dorm rooms are not luxurious, not even a little. For the year, you're stuck with a twin bed in which you will only be able to lay on your back for fear of rolling off the bunk bed in the middle of the night and crashing down on the floor seven feet below you.

Upperclassmen: You get a real adult bed, FULL SIZED and you don't have to worry about dying in your sleep every night.

Cafeteria Food to Home-Cooked Meals

Underclassmen: Ah, freshmen year... when you didn't have to do your own dishes and didn't have to lift a finger to make your own meals

Upperclassmen: You now make all of your own home-cooked meals. However, half the time you'll be too lazy to make a gourmet meal and will end up sticking with $0.39 Ramen Noodles instead.

Walking Everywhere to Having A Car

Underclassmen: Forget traveling your freshmen year…unless you know a cool upperclassman that doesn't mind you hitching rides

Upperclassmen: You've got you own wheels finally…along with a payment every month to park your car…joy.

Relying On Parents/Graduation Money to Having to Actually Get A Job

Underclassmen: I remember freshmen year when I still had plenty of gifts of money leftover from my graduation party and my parents to continually offer me support for the little things I had to pay for…can I be a freshman again?

Upperclassmen: Your parents are starting to cut you off as you get older and you're realizing the funds in your checking account just aren't going to cut it anymore. Time to get a real job. (Real job=Part time job to college students)

Going out every Wednesday/Thursday/Friday/Saturday to Trying To Get Out At Least Once Every Weekend

Underclassmen: It didn't matter what day of the week it was..if there were cuties and booze involved, you were SO there.

Upperclassmen: When your to-do list is five pages long and you haven't slept in days because of your part-time job and all the other homework you've been working on..a night in sounds just fine to you. However, even a planned night end results in major FOMO, no matter how hard you try and fight it.

"Decorating" Your Dorm Room to Decorating Your Apartment

Underclassmen: Freshman year your dorm room most likely contains at least one American Flag, a few strings of hand-me-down Christmas lights you stole from your parents and at least a thousand printed pictures taped on the wall.

Upperclassmen: You get to have fun and decorate your apartment with the best of the best of home decor (Okay, Hobby Lobby)

Drinking Franzia Straight From The Box to Drinking Champagne From A Glass Flute

Underclassmen: "Lets just all chip in on a box of Franzia, stick the bag in someone's oversized purse and drink it straight from there at the party." Enough said.

Upperclassmen: You're a little bit fancier because you now drink champagne that is $8 a bottle and bought yourself a nice glass champagne flute from TJ Maxx.

Taking 100 Level Class to Taking 400-500 Level Classes

Underclassmen: Your course schedule consists of classes such as "Theatre Appreciation" and "Intro to Dance"

Upperclassmen: We won't even talk about your course schedule because you'll probably start crying because of how hard it is

"Freshmen Attire" to Normal Attire

Underclassmen: You consider jewelry to be the lanyard hanging around your neck and dresses and heels as casual clothes to wear to class

Upperclassmen: Sweatpants and sandals all the way, man.

Reading 5 pages/Night to Reading Half a Book/Night

Underclassmen: "Ughhhhh, my professor assigned us SO much reading tonight…a whole five pages!"

Upperclassmen: "WHY?"

Having All The Time In The World to Becoming A Real Adult

Underclassmen: Appreciate your opportunity to be a freshmen. I know you probably hear this all the time, but the next four years really will just fly by

Upperclassmen: You're scared to death because you're about to leave behind your fun college years and join the real adults in the real world

Any Taste to Acquired Taste

Underclassmen: Not having an acquired taste for anything your freshmen year is actually a wonderful thing. Freshmen year is a time to date whoever and not have a "type", drink all kinds of alcohol and not have "your drink", and take classes in all different categories. Although all years of college are a time for you to find yourself and figure out your acquired taste, its so important to remember to try new things your freshmen year whilst in search for yourself and who you want to be.

Upperclassmen: I can tell you this much…I am an upperclassmen and I have figured out the type of guys I am interested in, the kinds of drinks that won't make me miserably hungover the next day and the classes that I feel happy and excited to be apart of.

Although there is so much that changes as you learn and grow over your college years, there are still a few things that will remain the same for you. First…naps. Power naps, cat naps, short naps, long naps..they will never get old. The second thing that won't change is the feeling of just wanting to be a kid again from time to time. With all the stress of college, I can guarantee you there isn't a single college student, no matter their age, that doesn't wish sometimes they were just playing in their old sandbox at home and enjoying the sunshine.

Don't take your college years for granted, make the most out of every situation, because soon, we will all be real adults in the real world. (YIKES)
