1. The Aptitude Test decides where you belong. And it is
basically the SAT you took your junior year of high school.
As terrifying as a feral dog.
2. Choosing Day: You mull over your options and you finally
choose where you'll be going to college. And if your school has a sports team, you’ve probably just sworn over
your allegiance forever.
Faction before blood, amiright?
3. Moving away from your family is both exciting and
terrifying at the same time, and you have that moment where you officially
become a member of your faction (or college, whatever you prefer). There’s
no turning back now.
But if all orientation leaders looked like Theo James, who
would want to turn back?
4. Making new friends. Because the strongest ties you make
your freshman year are those through which you are just trying to figure out
how to survive/ find that building where you have class in five minutes.
Either way, you are in this together.
5. You’re a bit confused about what you are eating in the
dining hall.
We all have “our foods” that we eat on the regular. And this
is not that.
6. Visiting Day: Even though most people were not really
expecting their parents to come, a lot of them did. And it is a bit jarring to
see them in this environment that you have sanctioned off as being “college people only.”
But let’s be honest, you were happy to see them.
7. You’re probably going to do something at least mildly
rebellious that your family won’t like.
Whether that be getting a tattoo or something else.
8. You are prepared to fight to the death in order to
graduate.
Even though this is a bit more of an accurate representation
of finals week.
