There are two types of people in this thing called college; one is a freshman and the second is an upperclassmen. Both of which have similar thoughts but depending on whether you are the first or second person, it differs throughout your experience in college.

Freshmen: "I have my backpack filled with every possible thing it can hold including my class schedule, extra utensils and paper, and all the books required for this class!"

Upperclassmen: "Let's throw some things into my bag that I probably won't use because it's syllabus week anyways."


Freshmen: "I am going to ace all of my classes by studying everyday, doing my homework, and basically be living in the library." (No judgement)

Upperclassmen: "C's get degrees, am I right?!"


Freshmen: "I hope I find my soulmate and we go on all these cute dates, and fall madly in love."

Upperclassmen: "I am in a serious relationship with pizza and alcohol."


Freshmen: "I hope I am not seen as a freshman, blend in as much as possible."

Upperclassmen: "I have had my classes with the same 30 students every year so you are going to stick out whether you want to or not because I have never seen you before."


Freshmen: "Going to take very detailed notes, go to office hours, and attend every class."

Upperclassmen: "Those notes are going to be on blackboard right?"


Freshmen: "I have all this money I saved up and my parents are helping me out so no worries in the financial area."

Upperclassmen: "Have exactly .17 cents in my bank right now. I'm fine."


Freshmen: "I am going to workout everyday and eat only healthy food."

Upperclassmen: "Gaining weight is a way of maturing."


Freshmen: "20 minutes before my next class? I can review material and study and..."

Upperclassmen: "20 minutes before my next class? Nap."


Freshmen: "Where is my class anyways? How do you even pronounce this building? Should I carry a map with me?"

Upperclassmen: "I could find my class in my sleep. Wait I didn't know this building had a third story?"


Freshmen: "I'm going to wear my nicest clothes and shoes; look amazing, do amazing right?"

Upperclassmen: "This T-shirt doesn't have any holes in it and these yoga pants look clean so it should work."


Freshmen: "Got an alcohol violation on my first day of college, let's create a gofundme for it."

Upperclassmen: "Don't need to worry about those things. Decorating my apartment with alcohol references, will blare music and be obnoxiously loud for the pre game, and going to the bar to drink because I'm of age.


Freshmen: "Do I have to check into the front desk EVERY TIME I check into my dorm building?"

Upperclassmen: "No rules. Fire Up."


Freshmen: "I will call my mom everyday because I miss her already."

Upperclassmen: "I'll text my mom to tell her I'm still alive right before going out for my 5th time this week."


Freshmen: "These dorms are so small and I have to share it?!"

Upperclassmen: "My closet is larger than my dorm room last year."


Freshmen: "My major is undecided."

Upperclassmen: "Same."

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
