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??
