16 GIFs That Perfectly Sum Up Freshman Year

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Oneonta chapter.

Five minutes after your first roommate encounter…

Realizing your parents are no longer around to monitor what you do…

But then coming to terms with the fact that you have to start doing things on your own… 

So your food schedule turns into a little something like…

Sitting down anxiously on your first day of classes…

Seeing someone you met over the weekend on campus but then you realize they don’t recognize you…

When someone asks you if you want to get DSM (Downstairs Mills)… 

But then you realize how much work you have to do…

Your parents call and you try to explain how hot your room actually gets…

When you finally submit an assignment that took you all night… 

And halfway through the semester your laziness kicks in…

So you begin to finish your essays minutes before they’re due…

Snapping back into reality once you realize finals are approaching…

Then how you actually feel during finals…

But you look back to see you had a pretty successful first semester… 

And before you know it, you’re on your way home for winter break…
