Ah, freshman year. There really is nothing like it. We are all living basically the same lives: we live in the same dorms, eat at the same dining hall, and take almost all the same classes. There is never going to be a time in our lives like this again, and as it comes to an end, there are definitely things we will and things we won't miss about our first year at the University of Tennessee!

You probably will miss Prez Court.

There's nothing quite like being able to meet up with friends in about two minutes notice, or staying up late listening to the birds chirping (still confused as to why the birds are the loudest in the middle of the night).

But, you probably won't miss the tiny old dorm rooms.

Come on, they're basically prison cells with windows.

You probably will miss all the workers at PCB.

Seeing Reggie at the omelette station and chatting with Chad the burger guy every Tuesday might have been one of your favorite traditions. You knew that Mrs Janice would greet you with a smile and leave you with a "there ya go, darlin" every afternoon, and there's a sort of comfort that comes with seeing the same people every day.

But, you probably won't miss eating there every day.

You can only eat so much pizza and salad without feeling horrible about yourself. So you resorted to spending those pesky dining dollars until you blew through all three hundred of them like they were nothing.

You probably will miss your first football game as a student.

There's nothing like your first time in the student section, being surrounded by all your best friends in all their best orange and cheering on the best team in the SEC (well, maybe not that last one).

But, you won't miss being in the nosebleeds because you don't have T credits yet.

Being a freshman means getting the short end of the stick, and in Neyland Stadium, the short end of the stick is sitting wayyyyy up. Maybe not THIS far up, but it feels like it.

You probably will miss being able to use the freshman excuse for everything.

Gaining fifteen pounds? Freshman. Partying too much? Freshman. Low GPA? Freshman. It resolves everything.

But, you probably won't miss being looked down upon because you're a freshman.

You felt small around all the seniors who already had jobs set up after graduation and knew what they were doing with their lives.

You probably will miss your easy classes.

All you had to do was find someone to give your clicker to and that was half the battle.

But, you probably won't miss the smell of HSS.

It's an odd mixture of a petting zoo and cleaning chemicals. I STILL have no idea what the source is.

You probably will miss living so close to TRECS.

You could almost literally roll out of bed and go work out. There was no excuse.

But, you won't miss living so close to construction.

Trying to sleep past 7 am? Trying to take a midday nap around 3? Good luck with blaring machines all around you.

You probably will miss the newness of it all.

At the beginning of freshman year, everything is new and you are bright with opportunity.

But, you probably won't miss when you had no idea what was going on.

You had no clue where the hill was, which clubs to join, or where to go on weekends.

You probably will miss meeting more new people than you ever have before in your life.

When you're in college, you are around more people your age than you ever will be in your life again. If that doesn't scare you, I don't know what will.

But you probably won't miss the time before you met all your best friends.

Because how could you ever live without them?
