7 Emotions That Freshmen Have A Few Days Before Move In

Oh how quickly five months before move in quickly turned into just five days. These next few days will be filled with a whirlwind of emotions as we start to realize that we are actually leaving for our new home soon. A few months ago the idea of moving into our college dorm was just something that we knew was going to happen eventually, but it wasn't really relevant since it was still a long ways away. Well, class of 2020 it is officially here, and I know we are going to kill it at our new homes. Thinking about this next adventure is both terrifying and wonderful at the same time, and I never thought was possible to feel both emotions so intensely at once. Now that we are just a few days away from this new adventure, this is how us class of 2020ers is feeling inside, as explained by Jennifer Lawrence gifs...

1. Excited.

This one is pretty obvious because in reality, what incoming freshmen in college isn't excited to move into their new home? We've been waiting for this moment for four years!

2. Nervous.


The idea of college, at times, can sound very intimidating and scary because it's a completely new situation that none of us are used to yet. It's extremely nerve-wrecking when we begin to think about the new social and academic situations we will face.

3. Sad.


Honestly, it's absolutely heartbreaking when we think about leaving our friends, family, fur babies, and our hometowns in just a few short days. Everything we are absolutely familiar with won't be joining us in just a few days. It's going to be important to remember that we won't be gone forever and home will always be waiting for us. Thank goodness for facetime to see your lovely parent's faces (and for them to put the phone to your fur baby's beautiful face).

4. Anxious.


What if I'm a bad roommate? What if my hall mates don't like me? What if I get lost going to my classes? What if I don't find my passion(s)? What if I nobody wants to be my friend? Is it weird to eat by myself? How am I going to memorize the names of all these buildings?

The amount of what ifs that us incoming freshmen can think of is ridiculously long, but completely understandable.

5. Stressed.


We've already done so much to get ready to leave for college, so then why does it seem like we still have so much to do?! You didn't realize you've packed and accumulated that much stuff until you try to fit it into your car like a tetris game. Now that's stressful.

6. Cool.


It's actually official...you are a college student!!! You're not going back to high school, you're heading off to college, which c'mon, it just sounds cooler.

7. Motivated.


In a week you'll be settled into your new home for, hopefully, at least the next four years. Despite your nerves and immense amount of what ifs, you're ready and motivated for this new adventure. You're motivated to tackle your first college courses, experience new social settings, and meet your life-long friends. Most importantly, you're ready to just "do you," you finally get to figure out your hobbies and interests, accomplish attainable goals, and learn what you want to do with your life!

Class of 2020, who is ready to tackle this upcoming school year with me?!

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
