Your First Week As A College Freshman, Told By Tyra Banks
Boston Magazine

It's your first day of classes as a college Freshman. You feel so...fresh! You survived orientation, successfully convinced your roommates that you weren't a loser in high school, and made all your friends at home super jealous with your incredible snapchat stories highlighting how much fun you're having. Now it's time to buckle down and get started with classes. Let's allow the star of America's Next Top Model show us how it's done.

1. Waking up extra early on your first day to ensure that you won't be late to class, but then trying to act casual.

Oh my class doesn't start for another 2 hours? I had no idea...

2. When you get lost on your way to class.


3. But then trying to play it off like you're still cool as you make a U-turn of shame.

4. And the first time you make it to class without getting lost, you feel like a superstar.

"I put a map of the school on my phone so I won't look like a loser."

5. When you thought you were smart until the professor started teaching.

Lol...whut.

6. When the professor assigns a lot of work on the first day.

7. When you're FaceTime-ing your friends from high school without headphones and they start to tell an embarrassing story about you.

8. Trying to flirt with people you just met.


No this is totally natural and not...awkward at all.

9. Trying to find the perfect thing to wear for the first freshman get together.


"No but seriously does this look cute?"

10. Skyping with your family and realizing how much you miss them.

11. And realizing that there's so much about home that you never appreciated.

Maybe you're wishing you didn't ignore all those texts from your parents in high school.

12. But ultimately, you're ready to come out of your shell and be yourself.

13. Because you're so pumped that this is your new home.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
