Ah, it's the first month back on campus, and with move-in day, the beginning of your classes, and reuniting with all your college buddies comes a mix of many different emotions. From feeling extremely overwhelmed, to feeling loved by your closest friends, to every emotion in between, the numerous feelings you feel at college are completely normal. While at college you may feel...
1. Stressed
From the endless amount of homework, to getting used to your new class schedule, to your professors sometimes making zero sense, stress is going to be a major emotion at college. But, it's normal. Relieve your stress by sitting back, taking deep breaths, and taking a break from your homework. Don't push yourself.2. Upset
Your first few weeks may seem easy because you haven't been away from home too long yet, but after a month or so you may get a little sad. The adjustment has taken place and you realize you miss your family, your own bed, and your friends from home. Once again, this is completely normal. Cry those tears, babygirl. Cry those tears.
3. Anxious
Anxiety definitely takes over your body at one point or another while at college. Whether it be because you have no idea what you're going to study and everyone else around your does, or if it's because you have no idea who's in your class or how hard the professor may be, college makes you anxious.4. Excited
Looking past all the stress, you definitely get excitement. The anticipation to see who you become friends with, to socialize with new people, and to go out with some new faces definitely gets new (and old) college students excited.
5. Happy
Once you finally settle into school and get the hang of things, you'll find yourself extremely happy. With the environment at your school and the amazing group of friends you have, you'll find out why leaving college for breaks can be so difficult.
6. Loved
Surround yourself with people who genuinely care about you and how you're feeling and you'll feel loved throughout your entire school year.7. Scared
You may find yourself never wanting to crawl out of bed in the morning because you have no idea what the day is going to bring you. With a new environment, new people, and new classes, you're bound you be afraid at some point.
8. Confident
After the first couple weeks of classes roll by, you'll be feeling confident in completing your work and managing good grades, as well as a good social life.
9. Restless
By the end of the week, you're going to feel super restless and energetic because all the workload is off your back. It's time for the weekend and to celebrate getting through yet another week with your best buds.
10. Eager
Although you probably went through being upset, anxious, and stressed, you're extremely eager to see what's in store for you while you conquer your time at college.
All of these emotions are common to any college student and regardless of how you normally feel at home, passing through any of these moods is bound to happen. So sit back and enjoy the roller coaster of emotions that college will bring you through.
