Stepping foot on your college campus your freshman year is one of the few moments in your life where you will experience a full-on swarm of butterflies in your stomach. It is such a surreal time where you get to meet new people, live somewhere new, and basically start fresh with only the highest of expectations in mind for the next four years to come. It has been said that your college days fly right by before you know it, but they will come together to be the best four years of your life. Hopefully, by the time you graduate you can agree with that.
All of the characters of the CW’s series, The Vampire Diaries, are representative of the many different emotions and experiences that college students encounter during their four years on campus. Therefore, here are 12 moments in The Vampire Diaries that show the emotions and experiences college students undergo while living that college life.
