50 Thoughts Since I Started My Freshman Year In College
Payton Leigh Taylor

While I read plenty of self-help articles online to prepare me for college, nothing really helps prepare you for the amount of walking you will do. Or the number of times you will be too lazy to walk to the dining hall, so you just skip a meal. And the change of school schedule from high school is a huge step into adulthood.

Since I have arrived at the University of New Hampshire, there have been many thoughts that cross through my mind more than once a day.

With the help from my two trusty roommates, Lauren and Sarena, we bring you our top 50 thoughts since we arrived on campus.

1. "I can't wait to get great grades, workout, and eat super healthy and get in really good shape!"

2. "WTF, homework on the first day?"

3. "Wait professor is letting us out a half hour early that's awesome."

4. "I'm so hungry but no part of me wants to walk to the dining hall."

5. "Just walk past the desserts, just walk past the desserts."

6. "I walked a lot of stairs today, one cookie won't hurt."

7. "My roommate ate four cookies and I don't want her to feel alone in that."

8. "OK, I'll leave a half-hour early for class to get to my building on time."

9. "Where is the building?"

10. "I HAVE TWO MINUTES WHERE IS THE BUILDING?!"

11. "And the room goes silent as I walk in late to class. Great."

12. *Gets back to room* "Aaaaand I left my keys inside."

13. "The hockey guys are so hot."

14. "The honors guys are so hot."

15. "The football guys are so hot."

16. *Smiles at another freshman and she glares at me* "Wow, college is going to suck I am not going to meet any new friends and be alone forever."

17. *Upperclassman smiles at me and gives directions to class* "I LOVE BEING AT COLLEGE EVERYONE IS SO NICE!"

18. "I'm going to rush a sorority!"

19. "Sorority girls are all so perfect oh my god never mind I'm not rushing."

20. "Why is it 90 degrees and people are wearing sweatpants?"

21. "Why is it 50 degrees and people are wearing shorts?"

22. "I'm so hungry."

23. *Goes to dining hall* "I'm so full and never eating again."

24. *Stands in front of a coffee shop* "I need caffeine but is it really worth $3?"

25. *Mom calls and tells you she misses you, 10 minutes later cries until you fall asleep"

26. "WHY IS THE SHOWER HOT ONE SECOND THEN COLD THEN BOILING"

27. "What am I doing with my life, I should have been a science major."

28. "You're taking five classes with three labs? I would NEVER be a science major."

29. *Wifi goes does down for the fifth time and it's 10 a.m.*

30. "Teachers really shouldn't specify that they don't take attendance because that's too tempting to not show up."

31. "I want to sit alone in the dining hall but will I look lonely?"

32. "Why are books so expensive?!?!"

33. "Why do I have a theater lab?"

34. "WHY IS THE WHOLE FOOTBALL TEAM IN MY THEATER LAB?"

35. *Complains about dorm being cold because of AC* *Everyone else hates you*

36. *Loves making food in dorm* *Doesn't do dishes until they pile up*

37. *Hears roommate horror stories* "I'm so lucky to have the roommates I do."

38. "She's wearing pajamas in class and no ones thinking twice, I want to get to that level."

39. "I need to wear cute clothes to the gym, in case I meet my future husband."

40. *Falls in love 9,263,817,826 times in the first day*

41. "I just want to go home and sleep" @ all the time

42. "I still can't find my dorm."

43. "I'm still hungry."

44. "How did I read four chapters in one night? Oh, it's 4 a.m."

45. "Do the stairs count as a workout?"

46. "I miss my mom."

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.
