"What's College Like?"

"What's College Like?"

This is the most frequently asked question by your family, siblings and high school friends. My best answer to that question is that it is awesome (minus the homework, studying, trying to get enough sleep and attempting to eat healthy).

1. You have absolutely no closet space so you have to pack lightly or else there will be clothes all over your room.

2. When your mom texts you and wants to know when she can set up a FaceTime date with you and all you can think is...

3. You wake up and remember that you have homework due so you decide it's best to just not go to class that day.

4. What you tell your parents you did last weekend.

5. What you actually want to say.

6. Sometimes you go to class and you leave feeling dumber than when you walked in.

7. You will make a ton of new friends, and they will feel like the siblings you never had/always wanted.. .

8. Walking everywhere really sucks. Not having a car also really sucks. I wish we had mopeds like they did on "Zoey 101" that I could conveniently ride all over campus in.

9. Living in a dorm can be rough when you have to run down the hall to use the bathroom.

10. You feel on top of the world when you receive a care package from home. Kinda feels like someone loves you.

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.
