As I start the second semester of my freshman year of college, I can't help but think back to the questions I had about college before I attended.

1. Will I make friends?

Yes, past me, you will make friends. Not only that, but you will find the best people in the world. The ones who will dance with you in your pajamas when you should be writing that paper, will make trips with you to Krispy Kreme at midnight, will go on adventures with you, and who will make you wonder what you ever did before you met them.

2. Will the dining hall food be really gross?

It honestly just depends on the day. It could be better, it could be gross. Grilled cheese Tuesday is pretty great, however.

3. How will I be away from my dogs for so long?

Well, missing your dogs will be hard, but asking your parents to send pictures of them will make the separation a little less hard.

4. Is college better than high school?

YES. A million and one times yes.

5. Is college harder than high school?

Also YES. A million and one times yes.

6. Will I be tired all the time?

So not all the time, but most of the time. Naps will become a means of survival.

7. Will I figure out how to do laundry without turning everything red?

My first time doing laundry using the old dorm machines was a lot like the poor lady struggling in the GIF above. But now I like to consider myself to be a laundry champ.

8. Are the community bathrooms as terrible as they seem?

I mean they certainly are not like the ones at the spa, but now showering with cheap flip flops on seems like second nature.

9. Will I find cool things to be involved in?

Yes, you will find so many cool things that you want to be involved in that it will be slightly overwhelming.

10. Will I still keep in touch with my friends back home?

Of course you will. You will pick up right where you left off when you reunite for Winter break. In the mean time, you will send each other memes constantly.

11. Will I have fun?

Yes, you will have just as much fun as Ron Swanson. Maybe even more.
