Freshman Year As Told By Cats

Your first year of college is a whirlwind of new experiences. Everything is interesting, challenging and unfamiliar, and we're just trying to figure out how to successfully land on all fours. None of us are purrfect, but we're just getting used to being on our own right meow. However, nothing beats college and few things are better than cat gifs, so enjoy the following felines portraying your freshman year.

When you move in before the first week of class and can't believe you're finally here!

Jumping into your lofted bed is gonna be harder than you thought.

When you "adult" for the first time and go grocery shopping and low-key feel really cool and independent.

At the beginning of the year, your promise yourself you'll stay on top of your homework, and for a while, it works.

But after a couple of months, that plan falls apart and you're rushing to get your huge research paper in before midnight ...


... and then you see your grade and wonder why you ever procrastinated.

When you're not even sure if your professor is speaking English at this point.

When you go out with friends and pre-gamed just a little too hard.

Eyeing that gorgeous young man from across the bar like:

How you feel inside while doing the walk of shame from aforementioned guy's place the next morning.

Freshman 15? Who, me?

Dragging your friends along to the gym with you because you're too unmotivated to go by yourself.

Feeling yourself while you're getting ready for your first formal.

The DJ is actually pretty lit and you are thriving so hard.

However, your friend had one too many and is hardly surviving so you have to be "mom."

Seeing your best friend after spending winter and spring breaks apart.

I've got four years of this madness. I love college!

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
