The First Week of College As Told By Barney Stinson
How I Met Your Mother

Whether it's your first year of college or your last, everyone knows there's nothing quite like the first week. A week slammed packed of awkward eye contact, the silent battle of who gets the desk at the back of room, and hearing "you must spend at least 5 hours outside of class studying this material for every hour of class" from each and every professor (not to mention trying to figure out that math), is enough to get anyone's emotions going. So here's to you, my fellow student on your journey to higher education, because if returning to classes and endless homework makes you as sad as it makes me, a wise man once said.... "When I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead." So, make this semester legendary.

1. When The Professor Pronounces Your Name Wrong on The First Day of Classes.

2. What you would rather do than participate in another ice-breaker.

3. Having to listen to your professor re-read the syllabus for 50 minutes.

4. Just to find out you already have an assignment due by the end of the week.

5. Realizing you bought a textbook you will literally only use once.

6. When God has personally blessed you with the one available parking spot on campus.

7. Having to raid the vending machines between classes when there's just no time for lunch.

8. When all of your friends say they're going to drop the class but it's a requirement for you.

9. Watching all the Freshmen walk to their 8 AM's from your dorm like:


10. Listening to all of your professors warn you about how difficult their class will be and not to procrastinate.

11. When you're finally dismissed from your last class on Friday, and you realize you somehow survived you first week back to college.


12. Just to remember you have to do it all over again on Monday.

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
