College Move In From First-Year to Junior Year

It's still exciting and dreadful, no matter what year.

College Move In From First-Year to Junior Year

College move in whether you're a First-Year or junior coming around for your third move in, it's always exciting and nerve wracking. You're First-Year, you're coming in knowing maybe one or two people already but not actually knowing much else on where you're living and who your roommates are. But coming back for your junior year, your third move in, it can be just as exciting, but for a few different reasons.

As a First-Year, you may not be as comfortable and you might even be asking yourself if this can be your home for the next four years, or if this was the right decision. You might not know your way around campus, and you might even hate all the core classes you're registered for. You might have only had a few text message interactions with your roommate, and then you have the awkward meeting as you both get to your room moving in. But coming in for your freshman year, it's a whole new chapter in your life that you'll embark on.

Now as a junior, it's a little bit different. You already know all about your roommates, you most likely chose them. You already know where you'll be living, and you've also most likely already seen the inside of your apartment. You're hopefully deep within your major, loving your classes. You should know your way around campus pretty much with your eyes closed, and know all the shortcuts. Coming back as a junior, you're gung-ho on seeing all your friends and catching up on how their summers were even before you're completely unpacked into your new apartment for a year. Now a junior, you might know your way across campus, and it might feel like the same old, but every year is a new year. It's as equally exciting.

But there are a few things that will always be there same whether you're a freshman or a junior moving in.

1. You'll be waiting in ridiculously long elevator lines to bring your stuff upstairs, or you'll carry everything up many flights of stairs.

2. The parking lots will always be madness.

3. Everyone always seems to be moving at the same time, and you feel cramped up on everyone.

4. There is always a sense of excitement for what new adventures and journeys this new year will give you.

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.
