For most people, college is not easy. Harder still, is moving from a small two year program to a bigger school, with more competition, and higher standards. The new faces, the new places, it can all be rather overwhelming. Here are seven transfer student problems, as told by the characters from The Emperor's New Groove.

1. One of the first transfer student problems, is that frustrating personal statement paper.

If you're anything like me, it's a month and a half past the due date and before you know it, there are three days left before your first class and you still have to account for snail mail delays. You'll be writing about how ready you are to move up and continue your education, and how you could be an asset to the university, as you are a model student. It ends up taking fifteen minutes to write and it looks like this...

2. Then, you're there at this huge new campus with ten times the number of buildings...

...and an out-dated, tiny, poor excuse of a map (but of course it's necessary, it;s just a reference. You've been through this before, you know how to navigate a college campus).

Then again, maybe not. Now you've walked into the wrong class five minutes late.

And wouldn't you know it, you're also on the wrong side of campus.

3. Moving up to a bigger college, it's not quite as easy to connect with the professors, and get on their good side. Networking can seem almost impossible in a new place.

4. With a higher student population, there is often a wide range of intellectual diversity.

5. Moving away from your hometown college clearly has its challenges, but one of the worst is leaving all of your friends behind.

6. Now you almost miss those awful ice-breakers,

because making new friends isn't as easy as it used to be.

7. And in some cases, the work (and the work load) can be so much more difficult at a bigger school.

But despite these seemingly devastating new transitions, you'll surely grow to love your transfer college. Two to four years is surely enough time to learn the places and the faces. You might even make some good friends.

You've been prepping for all the hard work since day one. And teaming up with a friend will make it a breeze.

And plus, a bigger campus means more cafe's and restaurants. Which means Starbucks, Tim Horton's, diners, buffets, and more... Which means your snack and meal-time experiences can go from this...

to this...

So, learn to love your new campus. Because time will fly, and just as soon as you start to get comfortable, it'll be time again to move on to bigger and better things. Change can be hard, but often it can be beneficial. Good luck transfer students!

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
