5 Thought Every College Student Has During Their First Semester
Theodysseyonline

College, going into it, we all thought it would be this super fun thing that's totally different from high school. So far, we have experienced many different emotions throughout the first semester of college from laughter to tears here's five thoughts every college student has during their first semester.

1. "This isn't even hard."

In the very beginning, we all thought we had college under control, we were starting to manage our time wisely and do everything as we should.

2. "Never mind."


We all got that wake-up call moment when we realized we only thought that college was easy because we hadn't received the full work load yet, and now that we have, we are feeling it hardcore.

3. "Is it eating Ramen every day safe?"


We've all found ourselves in the ultimate struggle eating Ramen way more often than recommended, got to eat somehow right?

4. "Is it too late to drop out?"


Honestly, maybe this one is just me but I can't tell you how many times the thought of dropping out seemed to save my sanity.

5. "Do I really want to be *insert major here*?"


At some point in time many of us question our majors, we more often than not stay with it but sometimes we switch and that's okay. Your first semester, if not your first year is all about deciding what you want for you.

Regardless of how bad the first semester may seem intially, it's important to remember why we all started and what the end result will be. It will not be easy but we're all in the same boat and we will get that degree.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
