12 Moments That Freshman Have
The College Whisperer


1. Writing scholarships and making weird connections to it

"Milk has impacted my life because it has been proven to protect me from cancer and asteroids from hitting my body. I am also very poor because of having to buy milk so this scholarship will help pay for my bills for college."

College students are desperate to get money for college as much as they can, and will write pretty much everything in order to not have as much loans as we can.

2. Okay, okay people seem to know each other just focus on the food and then get to the meeting people later

You go through the motions because you have to not look like someone who does not have friends.

3.You hung out with only your roommate for the first day

If you were anything like me your roommate was one of the only 3 people you were acquainted with in the school at first.

4. Forcing yourself to think that freshman orientation is a must and that you cannot sleep in and skip it

In my orientation everyone was from my major so I changed my classes to be with the same group of girls.

5. Everyone checks up on you on your first week, and it’s not only your parent- cousins, aunts, any family friend that reports back to your mom

Did you make it to all your classes on time? Have you done all your homework? Titi it’s syllabus week nothing exciting has happen yet.

6.You get so excited that you can have your own diet and eat everything your mom said was once in a blue moon.

You start to miss home and miss your mom’s cooking. You begin to understand why pizza everyday is not actually a good thing. Where's my arroz con gandules?!?

7. I love my major!! I took that one class in high school, must be the same

Family members "Oh so your not studying ___ anymore"

50% of college students change their major at least once during college, because you are not the same person you were in high school. This is only natural. If you do not end up changing your major, then that is perfectly okay too.

8. No one is there to watch you come back home because in college there are no babysitters, especially living in the dorms.

Man I’m gonna regret this....

This is when you realize that staying up watching an entire series on Netflix with your friends the night before classes was actually a bad idea. You learned the value of something called time management.

9. I NEED NAP TIME. Nap before homework. Nap before going out. Nap in between classes. Naps are essential.

10. Psych club? Sure! Newman Club? Yes! Dance club? Why not?! Poetry club? I write! Tea club? I like tea.

Turns into... 2am still haven’t finished that paper

12. In college, for almost every event there is a free t-shirt included.

Another Free T-shirt about the student center? I mean I guess

I mean who doesn’t need another pajama shirt? Get them in x large!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
