Ladies and gentlemen, we did it. We survived the first week of the semester after summer break! The first week is a rough one, especially if you are a freshman or a transfer student. We all go through the same series of emotions as we learn to navigate our new schedule, decorate this year's dorm room, and readjust our digestive systems to dining hall food. Luckily, these cats seem to be feeling similarly...

First, panic sets in; move-in is in 24 hours and you haven't started packing yet.

Never fear; packing is rarely as terrible as you anticipate it to be.

The not-so-fun part is adjusting to your teeny tiny dorm room.

But you do enjoy catching up with your friends.

You're rocking your new back to school wardrobe,

and you even agreed with your roommate to start going to the gym together!

and going back to eating dining hall food has you questioning why you bought a meal plan.

But then Thursday night rolls around...

and you are reminded how much you love college!

The next morning is rough...

But your pile of homework wakes you up in an instant.

Sunday night may look like this,

But you'll feel on top of the world when you finish your first week!

Fourteen more weeks of this organized chaos and we will be at the end of the semester. Stay strong!
