Freshman Year Of College As Told By Tarzan
HippoQuotes

Ah yes, my fellow college freshman, I'm overjoyed to say that this first year is coming to a close. Which means we somehow, against all of the odds, did it. Congrats! Yeah that's right, give yourself a pat on the back! Now to reflect on all of these fond (and maybe not-so-fond memories) I believe our man Tarzan can illustrate exactly how this year has treated us.

When it's move-in day and your giving yourself a pep talk to be super confident and friendly so your roommates don't think your weird.

But honestly on the inside you're absolutely terrified that your roommate(s) is going to look at you like the weirdo you know you are...

Then you have to say goodbye to your parents and you act like you're never going to see them again.

You go to your first party off campus, where you get completely drunk (it's your first time drinking). You wake up and realize you're missing your shoes and one of your earrings.

It's your first day of classes and you spend forever trying to find an outfit because you're so used to high school dress codes.

But then you realize everyone is just wearing t-shirts and sweatpants anyway!

Eating for the first time at the cafeteria not knowing how it's going to taste or if you're going to die from it.

But then you see that cute guy from Chemistry class and you're like:

And now the tragedy of Finals week has come around and you're completely overwhelmed with what to expect.

Once you've survived, you move on to your next round of classes and find the same person who was in your classes last semester and they finally speak to you.

Also, you find the cute guy from chemistry class is now in your English lecture so you sit in class like:

By the end of this semester, you start to lose all motivation and are really more worried about laying in bed, catching up on "Grey's Anatomy" and your friends are all like:

And then finals week swing around again and you still somehow are overwhelmed.

And then suddenly the day to move out is upon you and you have to say goodbye to all of your new friends like:

But once you finally arrive home for the summer and your parents see you at the door, you know you've been gone for way too long.

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.
