To The People Who Made My Freshman Year

To my amazing college friends,

Thank you. Thank you for always answering my millions of stupid questions and never failing to make fun of me. Thank you for dealing with my rants about classes and teachers who don't actually know how to teach. Thanks for dealing with my constant complaining about homework and debating changing my major and for always being tired for no reason. Thanks for the late night conversations, the ones that helped us all to get through the hard times and the ones that were pointless but still pretty meaningful. Thanks for all the memories and inside jokes that made this year so amazing.

I remember the first day of college my nerves were through the roof. I had never been more nervous to meet new people. I wasn't sure if I would be able to find "real" friends in college, the kind that you can depend on and learn from and I couldn't be happier that I was proven wrong. I am so grateful that I've met "yous" because you taught me more things in this quick year than I thought was possible. You showed me how to become a better person and yet made my sarcasm increase immensely. I was able to learn about your different perspectives and enhance my own understanding of politics and the world as a whole.

As our freshman year comes to an end, it's pretty cool to reflect on all things we've done this year. College is fun and excited but it can also be challenging and overwhelming and I don't know if I would have been able to handle it so well without you guys by my side. Thanks for making this year so perfect, can't wait to see what the next three years have in store for us!

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
