Congratulations, you've made it to college! No more having to get up at the crack of down and waiting for a bell to dismiss you, you're starting your journey to learn how to survive in the real world now. This is when you begin taking classes that actually apply to what you want to do, and you really, really, really have to study. You, a young scholar, will learn a lot the next few years in academia. But you, a young adult, will learn a lot about yourself, too.
If you want to know about my freshman year of college, I'll describe it in the words I think fit best: My freshman year was easily one of the best and most fun years of my life, that went to sh*t at the very end. I've learned a lot from my experiences and wanted to share some things with you. So, without further ado, here's a few things to expect from your freshman year:
1. You're not going to stay friends with everyone you get close to this year.
2. You're going to hate dining hall food.
3. You're going to laugh.
4. You're going to cry
5. You're going to stay up until 5 am and not even realize it because you're having too much fun.
6. You're going to hate some classes.
7. You're going to need to put yourself out there and get involved in everything you possibly can.
8. You're going to make a huge deal over something that will not matter in a year.
9. You're going to meet some one who changes you.
10. You may not pass every test. But if you're struggling, don't be afraid to ask for help.
11. You're going to learn. A lot.
12. You're going to listen to good music and find songs that become your anthems.
13. You're going to have some crazy nights (and even some days).
14. You're going to need coffee at some point.
15. You're going to hate your life during finals week.
16. You're going to feel completely alone sometimes.
17. You're going to want to just go home and hug your mom at least one time.
18. You're going to make big mistakes, and that's okay. You're going to keep move forward.
19. You're going to remember your freshman year of college because it will be one of the most exciting years of your life.
That's all I've got for you.
Good luck.
