11 Thoughts Hokies Have During Freshman Week, But They're All 'New Girl' .GIFs

Freshman year is all about learning new things about yourself and that includes how you manage living in a dorm room and being on your own. There's nothing better than jumping off the edge that first week and going head first and seeing where you land.

But regardless of where you land, during your flight, I promise that these 11 thoughts will cross your mind!

"Whoa, where did all these guys come from?"

Giphy

For some reason, my hometown population of guys just got increasingly smaller. It's as if it turned into a puddle compared to this ocean of boys that college has to offer all of the sudden. SCORE!!

"Wait, which room is mine again?"

Giphy

Nothing is worse than walking into the wrong dorm room your first week. But hey, you can always play it off like you meant to do it and just introduce yourself. Own It

Sees dorm room for the first time "Wow, so much room for activities!"

Giphy

Haha. That's cute.

Giphy

That jungle juice made everyone seem like they're your new best friend so naturally, hugs for everyone!!!

"Wait, why did I pick such a BIG school?!"

Giphy

Yeah, let me HIKE across the Drillfield from Pritchard to NCB. OR just hike anywhere at Tech — it's that big.

Who said that college was fun? I just wanna talk

"Do people actually use signs to tell their mates that they can't come in?"

Giphy

It's always funny to see one roomie sitting in the hall waiting for a guest to leave their room. Or better yet, when you hear someone yell "Get out!" because the other one didn't get the memo.

"Dude, I thought I was going to miss home cooked meals."

Giphy

You might as well get used to lying to your momma because there's no way you can miss a home cooked meal when you go to Virginia Tech. Best. Food. Ever.

"How does one flirt in college?"

Giphy

Seriously? How does it work?

"Damn, I really should have hit that summer work out that I saved on Pinterest."

Giphy

I thought I was in shape but I guess all the IG models decided to come to Virginia Tech this year because I swear I'm the only potato.

"Wait, it's only been one week?"

Giphy

the first week goes by so fast but so slow at the same time. I would say it changes but... well, good luck Charlie.

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

University of Denver

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
