I, like the majority of recent high school graduates, plan to move to college for the very first time in a few days. Needless to say, I'm having a whirlwind of emotions and it's proven more difficult to keep a steady head with each passing day.

My thoughts range from the dread to waking up for my 8 a.m. class to the thrill of participating in the Week of Welcome activities at Carolina. Just like the hit series Riverdale, my new life will be filled with new and possibly confusing friendships, unexpected drama and a whole lot of decision-making.

Whether you connect with Jughead's inability to fit in with his community or with Josie's pressure to meet her parents' high standards, the cast of Riverdale has a way of relating to every incoming first-year. Thus, I have compiled a list of ten thoughts all college first-years have before moving in, as told by your favorite comic book stars:

1. "I'm sad because I have to leave my family, friends, and most importantly, my bed behind. :-("

The summer before your first year of college can become depressing as you say goodbye to the people in your life who shared every moment with you for at least the past four years.

2. "I'm so excited to meet new people and experience all college has to offer!"

Nevertheless, you are dreaming about the wonderful opportunities you'll have of forming friendships with people other than those you went to high school with.

3. "I'm low-key terrified of meeting new people and what if I somehow end up alone on campus with no sense of direction and oh the possibilities of mishaps are endless!!"

On the other hand, you can feel that pit at the bottom of your stomach that warns you about everything that could go wrong. Getting stuck on the elevator during move in and getting to your first class of the semester late are only a couple of your worries.

4. "I definitely overpacked. But wait, I forgot my headphones!"

Like me, you'll probably want to bring every article of clothing (including your winter boots) and every fond high school memory with you at the start of the fall semester. However, try to restrain yourself because just as I am reassuring myself, I can guarantee you that you won't have the time or space for it all.

5. "I can't wait for the free gear and food on campus. College is so expensive."

Before you even step foot on campus, you probably already started complaining about the sheer amount of money it takes to attend college. But, you also know that during the first few days of arriving, you'll already have more t-shirts than you can count (or so every other returning student has told you).

6. "There are going to be so many cool clubs...but everyone told me 'beware the listserv' so I won't sign up for all of them."

During orientation, you might have gotten the spiel about getting involved on campus, which includes signing up for clubs at the beginning of the term. However, your orientation leader also warned you about being added to the listserv, which means you would receive constant emails throughout the school year from about 800 clubs if you aren't mindful. I guess there are pros and cons to every situation.

7. "I'm definitely doing ~insert bizarre university tradition here~ the night before FDOC because I WILL get a 4.0 this semester."

At some institutions, there are unique traditions that live on year after year with each new class to prepare its students for the upcoming year. For example, at Carolina, the night before or the morning of the first day of classes, students drink from the Old Well to finish with a 4.0 at the end of the semester. There's no guarantee that it'll work, but it's a great way to bond with fellow peers and get pumped up for learning.

8. "I can do this. I'll ace Chemistry 101 while having a social life and getting enough sleep."

As a rising first-year, I currently have this mentality because if I could do it in high school, I can do it in college, right? First-years tend to be more motivated right from the get go because first impressions are everything, especially if you might want that grade bumped up at the end of the semester.

9. "FREEDOM AT LAST!!"

Ah, freedom. You're finally able to do what you want when you want (within reason) without your parents' glares on your back 24/7. It's a very rewarding idea that also comes with a lot of adulting, unfortunately, that you might not be prepared for. Another pro-con situation.

10. "I'm ready to watch season two of Riverdale in October!"

If you're anything like me, you're stoked to watch the next season of Riverdale with your equally-as-excited friends.

Riverdale season two will air on October 8 at 8/7 central on the CW. You can watch season one on Netflix today! Happy move-in, fellow first-years!
