Freshman year of college is full of new things. New people, new classes, new places. It also means there's a whole world of movies shows for incoming freshman to see and relate to.

1. Grown-ish

While I refuse to call ABC Family by its ridiculous new name, Freeform (why?), the network is home to a slew of great shows, including Grown-ish. Starring Black-ish Yara Shahidi, this adorable comedy explores the joys and tragedies of being a college freshman.

2. Undeclared

Any fan of Freaks & Geeks should give Undeclared a try. Created by Judd Appatow. The series follows freshman Steven Karp (Jay Baruchel), hoping to find a fresh start in college. This gem of a tv show has many things in common with Freaks & Geeks, including the sad fact that both shows only lasted one season.

3. Felicity

One Tree Hill fans will love Felicity. This charming series, created by J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves, ran for four seasons on the WB. Watch four seasons of Felicity Porter's (Kerri Russell) bad haircuts, love triangles, and unrealistically large dorm rooms.

4. The Graduate

Enjoy your college years while you have them. This darkly funny film follows a recent college graduate embark upon the real world; and realize his best years may be behind him. Good luck seniors!

5. Mistress America

College isn't easy for everyone. This sweet, friendship-fueled, screwball comedy follows awkward, lonely Tracy (Lola Kirke), navigating her difficult freshman year of college. The film stars the marvelous Greta Gerwig, director and writer of Lady Bird. (If you haven't seen Lady Bird, please stop reading this article and start watching Lady Bird).

6. Everybody Wants Some

This low-key comedy, hails from the creators of Dazed and Confused. The film set in 1980, Texas, follows a freshman baseball player. It's perfect for anyone looking for a laid-back, laugh filled night.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
