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.

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
