Let me tell you about the best year of my life.
It all started with the first week of college. It’s seven days full of wonder, excitement, loneliness, and a realization that this is the start of a brand new world.
And believe me, as brutal as it may be to you, you’ll wish for it 100 times over when you’re my age.
Which, if I tell you, I’ll have to kill you.
In any case, here’s a guide to how things might be your first week of freshman year. Like…
When you drive up to the dorm and see everyone moving their stuff in…and realize you’re officially an adult (or so you think)…
Then walk into the dorm and realize there is no air conditioning and it hasn’t been updated since inception in 1867…
But then you meet your roommate and realize they have the same color sheet set and comforter as you…
But that’s before that day they ate all of your Tostinos while you were in macro economics…
Then you walk up and down the hall, observing the rest of the girls and boys…
…Not realizing they’ll become some of your lifelong friends…
Anyway, it’s officially the first day of class. You go in all confident until the professor asks you a question in front of 75 people you don’t even know…
And the stress begins. So to unwind, you sneak liquor into the dorm and after 3 shots of Everclear (or whatever rubbing alcohol you can get your 18-year-old hands on) that one guy/girl ruins it all…
And yes, they’ll be that one person that ruins it all for the next four years…
But you go to that first party of the year anyway and you’re feeling all grown and sexy…
Until the more experienced, flawless looking upperclassmen walk in…
Time to get serious. That first trip to the bookstore is so overwhelming that it goes something like this…
Because the prices are like this:
So you go to the cafeteria to fuel up. But the food choices make you do this…
But not to worry. On the fourth day you’ll discover the heaven’s manna…aka RAMEN…
This is about the point you start to miss your parents…
But then you’ll realize that you’re a grown-up BAWSE and you don’t need your parents anymore…
The week is almost ending. You might feel a little bold and sneak someone you met on campus into the dorm after hours…and almost being caught by the front desk or the RA feels something like this…
Or you’ll visit the co-ed dorm and realize how gross boys really are. Or, if you’re a guy, how nasty the girls are…
And your first encounter with the upperclassmen boys may feel a little something like this…
But your first freshman crush…well that’s one to remember…
Until you realize much later that they will be that person you just wish you didn’t when you see them on campus…
But it’s all worth it. Because in the end this will have been the best four years of your life…
So trust us…savor the moment. It goes by fast…
