5 Questions All Freshmen Have Going Into Their First Day

I'm super excited about the first year, but I'm still very apprehensive.

5 Questions All Freshmen Have Going Into Their First Day

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!!

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!
