Is college what you expected?

College.


Life.


College Life.

When students finally enter their freshman year of college they expect to be at parties every Friday and Saturday night, they expect to instantly have life-long friends and to finally have freedom. And for some people, it turns exactly like that.

And for others it hasn't.

For those of you to whom it hasn't, don't fret. College only started a week ago for most students in my state so relax you have 4 years to get yourself together.

But seriously, is college what you expected? Is it better or worse? Are you having fun? Or absolutely hating it?

For me, it's a love relationship so far because I have great friends, pretty great professors, small campus so it's easy for me to find my way around.

It's great to love your college and for it to be exactly what you expected.

And it's okay for college to be exactly not what you expected. If it's in a good way then that's great! You learn something new everyday and you might even enjoy yourself more because you've experienced this now.

If it's in a bad way then try to learn from it. Seek help if your really struggling. There's always counselors and professors and other staff to help you with your needs. And if that doesn't work then sadly you might want to consider transferring. It might just be the certain college that your in.

I hope you guys find your way this year and experience great and fun things!

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
