The Anticipation In the summer before my freshman year of college, I was outrageously excited. I'm talking spent-the-entire-summer-counting-down-the-days excited. I planned out every single detail: everything from what clubs I would join to how I would organize my desk. My friends often came to me for advice and planning tips because I looked like I knew it all.
As great as it sounds, I think this excitement was part of the reason I was so let down during the first semester. In my mind, freshman year was going to be perfect. I would be on my own, living by my own rules. I'd be able to escape petty high school drama and make new friends. It sounded so good in theory, but I didn't realize that it takes time to adjust.
