Remember your first few weeks on campus? It only took you a year or two to get the hang of college. Now that you know what to do, let’s take a look at some of the crazy things freshman-you thought was normal, shall we?
1. The anxiety and excitement you got from skipping a class
Then: Should I do it??? What if I miss something important??
Now: Would you look at that, already late. Might as well not go.
2. Putting in effort to go to class
Then: *Wakes up an hour and a half early to shower and do makeup*
Now: *Takes off pajama sweats to put on school sweats*
3. Spending way too much money on unnecessary textbooks
Then: Mom, Dad, I need $750 for textbooks ASAP! Classes start tomorrow!
Now: *Textbook recommended* That’s gonna be a no from me.
4. Feeling grown-up and cool when you drank coffee
Then: My second caramel chocolate swirl whipped cream mocha of the day! I’m addicted!
Now: Must down four espresso shots and two black coffees to avoid painful headache.
5. Taking notes in class like you’re life depended on it
Then: The professor said we don’t have to write this down, but Imma do it anyway.
Now: I’ll pretend to listen but really I’m going to contemplate my entire life.
6. Putting in effort to go out
Then: Guys, help – should I straighten or curl tonight? Is my winged eyeliner even?
Now: Haven’t showered in three days, but here we go.
7. Trying to eat healthy despite having a meal plan
Then: I’ll get a salad from Red Radish and some fruit from The Ave. Solid.
Now: Don’t really feel like driving to the store… *eats cereal for third meal of the day*
8. Saying no to plans because you had to study.
Then: That sounds fun, but my test is two weeks away. I should really study.
Now: Midterm tomorrow, but let’s rage.
Ahh, the nostalgia of freshman year. Good thing you grew out of those habits, right?
