5 Questions All Freshmen Have Going Into Their First Day
Odyssey

I decided to write this so after the semester I could answer them. Freshmen year is full of different and new experiences and people. It is also full of stress, fun, laughs, and learning how to be on my own. Already I've met so many people that I would've never met at home. Going in, I have so many different questions and things I'm worried about, so here are five questions I have going into my first year:

1. Will I like my roommate?

Yeah, I know I'll love her when I first meet her, but a couple months down the road will I still love her? Or will she bring people over that make me feel uncomfortable? Are we going to fight a lot? Living with someone new is weird, so how will I do? But I'm equally worried about my roommate loving me.

2. Will I find my "Forever Friends"?

You know those friends that you will literally have for the rest of your life? Those ones that your children call aunt or uncle? Will I find them this year or do I have to wait until my sophomore year? I feel like a freshman in high school all over again trying to fit in and find friends. The pressure is real.

3. How hard will my classes be?

They say college is ten times harder than high school, but with all the free time and resources, will it really be hard? I know they will be expecting more of us than in high school but what will it really be like? Also, the resources are literally a walk away, so why wouldn't I use them?

4. How much sleep am I going to get?

My nap game is already pretty strong, but every visit I've gone on college kids are constantly napping. Is this because they don't have enough sleep or because they just nap constantly so they are constantly tired? Will my homework get in the way of sleep? Will I need to stay up all night to finish that last minute paper?

5. WILL I GAIN THE FRESHMAN 15??

So my mom while shopping was SO BIG ABOUT PORTION CONTROL because of the dreaded freshman 15. Wells is so big and hilly but I am still concerned about the weight because I know stress can make you want to eat more and food on college campuses are known not to be the healthiest. So, will I gain the dreaded pounds????

So before I start my first week at Wells, I have SO MANY questions. With all of these questions, though I'm so ready for this year!!
