How A Transfer College Student Feels Like

T stands for transfer. It also stands for terrified.

How A Transfer College Student Feels Like
Carrie Spillane

College is college so you know all what to expect. You at least been to college for a semester. You know the people who makes you comfortable and who can make your skin crawl. You know you your alcohol level intake before you get tipsy to drunk to too late to fix mistakes to blackout. You even smoke a blunt at least once and your first time you got high or not. You know what the work load is like. Show up to classes and do all your assignments cause "It Pay’s to Get A’s, But C’s Get Degrees". Whatever you have to do cause you might have to take an extra semester, a winter or summer class, or a few online classes to get caught up.

As someone who barley knows anyone at a new college you can not help to feel like a freshman. You ask where places are located and they say "next to the auditorium" and you ask "where is that?" You are afraid of getting a Freshman 15 because of all the new food places you want to try. Professors and staff ask if you are a freshman because of you barely swiped ID. Last but not lease you are in a whole new environment far from all your friends and family.

But it is the only first week so do not fret. Clubs, intramurals, and fraternity and sorority rushes will start and you will meet a bunch of new people. It does not hurt to go up to someone and complement their clothing. Talk to the people in your class and make a study buddy for when midterms and finals come.

P.S. Remeber do not have you college life rely coffee

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
