Freshman year of college is the most memorable year of your life. What better way to tell the story of college than with gifs of adults playing high school students in what is arguably one of the most watched shows by college students who act like high school students but are trying to be adults?


Walking into your first class

You're a freshman, and you were just a senior and you don't yet know the college food chain. That quickly changes, and you realize you're at the bottom of the totem pole again.


Trying to convince your mother that you're ok

I mean she's only calling, like, fifteen times a day. In the morning. Between classes. At lunch. MOM I'M OKAY I PROMISE!


When you go to your first party

It can get kind of wild and crazy. Drinks are flying everywhere, and people are falling down, and it's so loud you can hardly hear your own thoughts. But it's fun and awkward and memorable.


After your professor posts your grades for your first test


That first test is always the hardest. You don't know what exactly to expect, so don't be disappointed when it isn't the best grade you've ever made.


When you see someone you knew in high school, and they look gooooood

People change a lot that year between high school and college. You might see someone you knew from your town or the town over and realize that they got cute all of a sudden.


After you give your friends a ride home from the bars

Let's face it: drunk college kids are messy. Your car is going to be full of trash, and there's a chance there may be some vomit in there, too. Maybe some blood? Who knows.


When you're trying to make new friends

Those first few weeks you talk to anyone and everyone trying to find who you fit in with. I shared meals with so many people I never really talked to again. This one time, I shared my ice cream with some random guys in my dorm because why not?


Pulling your first all-nighter

It's so frustrating, but it's bound to happen. You'll procrastinate and all your homework and three tests and two papers will fall on a Friday, and you'll have to stay up all Thursday night to get it done.


And realizing that your first year is almost over, but that there are only three more

It ends so soon... The year flies by, and there aren't that many years left and why am I breathing so heavy??? Why am I crying thinking about my impending graduation and having to get a real job??

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.
