17 Times "New Girl" Accurately Described The First Week Of College
HitFix

Moving into college for the first time brings a mix of emotions and a test. The test is meeting a lot of people for the first time and hoping they don't think you're insane (or at least recognize that you're as insane as they are). The whole first week - syllabus week for classes, turn-up week for most returning students, and what-the-heck-do-I-do week for freshmen - can really feel like a year of its own. Here are some New Girl gifs to help those of you moving into college for the first time express your feelings about the whole situation.

1. Having doubts the moment you reach campus. This is normal and will pass (hopefully).


2. Those doubts going away, and overconfidence setting in to hide your anxiety.


3. Saying stuff like this out loud to show your new friends that these new places and faces really aren't phasing you (or just reassuring yourself).


4. Getting to know your roommate and not being very excited to live with them.


5. Worrying that you might be alone in this new journey because you haven't met the right new friends yet.


6. *No explanation needed*


7. Finding happiness with new friends you think you can actually get along with.


8. Giving up on trying to appear normal to everyone. Your new friends should accept you the way you are.


9. Going to the cafeteria for the first time and feeling... less than impressed.


10. Making plans with all of your new friends because that's what college kids do!


11. Discussing your alcoholic tastes with your new friends and realizing you're true college kids already.


12. Your first tastes of college romance.


13. Your super-college-party plans not working out so well.


14. Having regrets and calling your parents to tell them all about your first few days of college (dressed up similar to this).


15. Oh, and of course your first time going to college classes.


16. Meeting some upperclassman that drops some wisdom on you and makes you feel so much better about your crazy first week and college overall.


17. After your crazy first week, finally deciding to be optimistic that maybe this first year away won't be so awful. This is our time, let's make the most of it!

So enjoy the first week and first year of college. I promise that you will miss it later.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo
