The first semester of college as told by Kimmy Schmidt

The first semester is a trying time that every girl (and guy) can find themselves struggling to make it through. While not everyone finds themselves escaping a doomsday cult and starting over in the less than hospitable New York City, starting college is still a tumultuous time with a great deal of change. In anticipation for April 15th when the second season of Unbreakable: Kimmy Schmidt comes to Netflix, here is a compilation of the struggles of first semester freshman year as told by Kimmy Schmidt and her closest comrades because females (and males) are strong.

Move in day finally arrives and you can't wait to start the next four years of your life according to a specific plan, starting with making your dorm room look like an Anthropologie showroom.

When your family sees your dorm for the first time and can't believe how small it is.

Finally meeting your new roommate(s) after an entire summer of Facebook/ Instagram stalking them.

That bittersweet goodbye to your family when you start to regret leaving home for four years.

And then seeing the cute guy living down the hall and knowing you'll be okay

The first time you walk through the dining hall for dinner and see the plethora of options.

Hearing weird sounds outside your dorm and being paranoid that all the news articles your mom forwarded you about college students being taken are going to come true.


But remembering the Krav Maga class you took before you left for school.

The night before your first college class when you decide that you are going to be an academic rockstar.

And then your first midterm doesn't go as well as you expected...

And you realize that being an adult is harder than you thought.

And you start to rethink why you came to college in the first place

Until you get your first care package from your parents.

And you decide not to let that one test derail the rest of your college experience.


But, still, nothing goes as planned and you feel like a failure.

And then you realize that the best way to enjoy your college experience is to just let go and be yourself.

All in all, the first semester of college is a roller coaster. It definitely has its highs and, unfortunately, lows. However, if we take a page from Kimmy Schmidt's book and keep on Kimmying, all will be okay and you will see why these are known as "the best years of your life".

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
