7 Things That Will Happen During Your First Semester of College

In This Article:

Now that most colleges have started up again, there's a whole new class of freshman. Whether you're excited, nervous, or both for your first semester at college, here's seven things that will most likely happen to you in your first four months.

1. You'll probably get lost a lot the first week

Giphy

Especially if you're going to a big school. Maybe just leave an extra 10 minutes earlier for class the first week.

2. But then you'll figure out where everything is and know the campus like the back of your hand

Giphy

Once you know where everything is, you can definitely risk leaving for that 10 AM Bio class at 9:58.

3. Your sleep schedule will probably get messed up

Giphy

Going from waking up at 6 AM for high school to waking up four hours later every day will definitely mess with your previous sleep schedule. But, starting your day later means going to sleep later the night before, too!

4. ...And so will your diet

Giphy

Having no one telling you what to eat and having an unlimited supply of food will probably cause you to go a little crazy.

5. If you didn't live in leggings and sweatpants before, you probably will now

Giphy

Of course, there will always be people who are somehow able to wake up early and get ready, but most of us just throw on some sweatpants or leggings and head to class. It's more comfortable this way.

6. You'll meet a bunch of new people, and make new friends

Giphy

The best part of starting college is meeting all new people and making new friends!

7. You'll be excited to go back after winter break

Giphy

It'll be like you never even left.

Don't worry, you'll have an amazing first semester!

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.

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.
