College has been such an amazing experience for me so far. I have met so many awesome people and have experienced so many amazing things! I know this is only the beginning and there's a lot more to come , but it's great to see how good things are turning out for my first semester of college. I remember hearing about how awful college homework was and how awesome the experiences are in high school. I can confidently say that college is what you make it and I'm enjoying every moment of it! Here are 5 reasons why I love college!

#1: Classes

College is very different from high school based on classes. In high school all of my classes were pretty much scheduled for me. I didn't have a say in what day or time each class was. College has allowed me to arrange my classes in a way that suits me best!

#2: Freedom

College allows young adults to have freedom. Of course, what you do with that freedom is up to you! I'm using my freedom to find myself more and see how I can handle adulting on my own. So far so good , but I still have a lot to learn!

#3: Networking

Networking is huge in college! So many people coming from all over in one place is perfect for meeting new people and establishing relationships. I have been able to do this by getting involved on campus and going to various campus events! You never know who you'll meet in college , so it's always good to get your face known for the future.

#4: Living on campus

I have loved living on campus every since I moved into my dorm! Living on campus has allowed me to get to know my campus better and feel more comfortable. I also feel like it's a lot easier to live on campus than commute. I can literally hop out of bed and walk to class! I also love how easy it is to get to fast food ( more specifically chick fil a)!

#5: Experiences

As we all know, college is full of experiences. Some life changing and others not so much, but I know that I would never have had some of the experiences that I've had if I had not decided to go to college! Seeing people from all different backgrounds has made me more aware of how different everyones life is. I'm learning something new everyday and everything that I learn makes an impact on my life and personal knowledge. I will never regret my decision to go to college!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. 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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

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. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
