Freshman year of college comes with many emotions. You go from being anxious on move-in day, partially wanting your parents to stay there with you, to being excited and over-ambitious the next week. However as the year goes on, the same emotions seem to repeat themselves. There are good times, there are not-so-good times, and there is everything in-between. However, there are six emotions that seem to sum up freshman year of college pretty well.
1. Nervous
Freshman year of college is scary. New city, new friends, and a whole new school. Not to mention you're parent-less now, so you're on your own. Lots of nerves during the first week of college, and you may think to yourself, "Oh God, what did I get myself into."
2. Excited/Ecstatic
After a week or so of college, you feel like you've got this. You walk around campus saying hi to your buddies acting like you own the place. You think to yourself, "Hey, college isn't so bad -- college is fun!"
3. Regretful
4. Stressed
Then the year goes on and you realize that your stressed about almost everything. That point at the end of second semester where you might lose it. School is hard, finals suck, you don't have a date to formal yet, and your probably going to fail your chemistry midterm on Monday. Again, you're realizing that college is hard.
5. Sad
Before you know it, freshman year is over. You have to say goodbye to the people that were strangers just one year ago, but have now become some of your best friends. Saying goodbye sucks.
6. Happy
But then you get home and you realize that your bed is much comfier than your dorm bed, dinning hall food is poisonous, and it's only a short three months until you get to see your college besties again. Plus there are things called FaceTime and group message so that you will never really have to miss them. That should put a smile on your face.
