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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It'll be like you never even left.

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

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
