Ah, freshman move-in weekend. One of the most simultaneously exciting and terrifying experiences of your teenage life. In these short few days, you can expect to experience lots of different and unique emotions. Whether you end the weekend feeling like a star or like you're living under a rock, everyone's favorite pink sidekick is able to sum up many of the experiences that accompany your transition into college living.

1. Figuring out how you'll manage to fit all your things into your tiny dorm.

After lugging the entire contents of your car up the stairs or waiting in line for hours to get into the elevator, you're tasked with the challenging endeavor of finding a place for it all. Spoiler Alert: It'll probably all end up on the floor eventually anyway.

2. Learning to live with a bunch of people you've never met.

Living in a house with your family is one thing. Suddenly having to coexist with the 80 other people on your floor is something else entirely. If you thought sharing a bathroom with your siblings was bad, try sharing with 40 strangers.

3. Eating whatever you want, whenever you want.

Well, you can have whatever you want as long as it's included in the meal plan. If you want to eat waffles for dinner or have pizza for every meal, go for it! Although, that's not the best idea if you're looking to avoid the dreaded Freshman 15.

4. Realizing there are no parents around to tell you what to do...

You can do anything you want! You want to stay up until 4 a.m. watching an entire season of your favorite show on Netflix? Party until the sun comes up? Knock yourself out! Just know that you'll be regretting your choices when it's time to wake up for your 8 a.m. class.

5. ... Closely followed by the realization that you might actually miss them.

Your new found freedom might be exciting at first, but once the novelty wears off the homesickness will start to settle in. But that's okay, Thanksgiving is just around the corner.

6. Getting locked out of your room.

Having to take a key with you literally anytime you go anywhere can take some getting used to. Forgetting it isn't usually a huge deal, but it's definitely not convenient when your roommates aren't around to let you back in.

7. Becoming friends with a whole bunch of new and awesome people.

Moving into your dorm may have some downsides, but one of the best parts is all the new, interesting people you get to meet. You'll find your own group of goofy goobers in no time.

8. Realizing you're going to have a lot of fun in your new home!

Although moving in can be really stressful and emotional time, by the end of it you'll be feeling ready and excited to take on the school year with your new friends by your side!

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.
