This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UNH chapter.
Students swarming your car to unload your stuff on move-in day
When your advisor is going over your graduation requirements during orientation
Embarrassing yourself at least once… or five times.
Enjoying every Saturday
Experiencing your first midterm week
Your floor arguing about who is leaving hair in the drain
People at home asking how school is going
Trying to beat the line in Union Court
Not being able to and watching someone cut the line
Coming home at Thanksgiving, pretending to be a far more mature and educated person
When your professor assigns a whole weekend worth of homework
Not knowing what’s going on at school-wide events
“I knew exactly what to do. But in a much more real sense, I had no idea what to do”- Michael Scott
Just needing to go home for the weekend
“I am running away from my responsibilities, and it feels good”- Michael Scott
When you run into your RA and they ask you about the weekly social
“I would not miss it for the world. But if something came up I would definitely not go.”- Michael Scott
Spending the whole week studying for one test
Hitting the midpoint of the semester
“I’m optimistic, but every day I get a little more desperate” – Michael Scott
Trying to not look like a freshman (for literally everything you do)
Getting through the week before break
Going to your first party
“If my parents see this, I am toast.” – Creed Bratton
And then leaving when it probably gets busted…
All of your money going to tuition, DHOP and Wild Kitty
Looking at your bed at the end of the day
Despite the trauma of Freshman year, you will look back and miss it
So, enjoy the chaos
