Things All Incoming Freshman are Thinking

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Syracuse chapter.
  1. Oh my gosh, I’m actually going to college!

  2. I’m like an adult now!

  3. Do I have everything I need?

  4. Do I have too much?

  5. This is a fresh start. No one knows me here.

  6. I’m so excited! *30 seconds later* This is terrifying. What was I thinking? I can’t be this far from home!

  7. FREEDOM

  8. They said I can’t have an extension cord, but I can just hide it for dorm checks, right?

  9. How am I going to fit all my stuff in my dad’s SUV?

  10. Those fire drills in Lawrinson are fake, right? Cause I’m not walking down 15 flights of stairs at 3 AM.

  11. Is that Think About it Thing really mandatory? Guess I should ask someone in the GroupMe to send me the link.

  12. Are my roommate and I gonna get along?

  13. Not only do I have 5 8 AM’s, but my dorm is on the other side of campus… great.

  14. How am I supposed to get to these classes in ten minutes?

  15. How hard are these classes actually going to be?
