1. There is no way I had this much stuff in my tiny dorm room


You don't know how it happened...but somehow managed to fit your whole life in half of a dorm room for a whole semester

2. Not needing flip flops to shower is the best feeling in the world.

Walking straight from your room to the shower without putting on shoes is a feeling you missed more than anything.

3. I hate not being able to hang out with all my friends in a dorm room until 4 am.

Sadly, when you come home most of your new friends are 100's of miles away...not 100 feet away

4. I forgot how boring life is when you don't have class anymore.

What is there to do now that you no longer have tons of papers and tests.....besides work of course.

5. It’s crazy not to pregame in a dorm just to drink more at a frat party every weekend.

Although you may still be going to parties every weekend, no party is like a dorm or frat party.

6. What do I do with all this free time??

You have no more classes, none of your friends are in the next building anymore, and you don't know what to do with yourself.

7. I forgot there was more food out there other than ramen and the dining halls six choices.

Real food is a blessing and dining hall food will not be missed.

8. I forgot how amazing my queensized bed is.

Any bed is better than the cinderblock twin bed colleges give you.

9. I never want to leave my dog again.

Nothing is better than waking up to kisses from your dog.

10. Oh shit I can't swear as much in public!

When you aren't living in a college town people don't tend to appreciate constant swearing.

11. Holy fuck I miss my friends.

Although you have friends back home, the ones you made at college are beyond important and too far away for the next 3 months.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.

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
