freshman year of college canon events 1) forming or entering a large friend group within the first month and it also falls apart within the first month. never happened to me though because i didn't have any friends. 2) joining a bunch of extracurriculars and finding out that you like none of them 3) failing your first test 4) getting your first c+ and being happy that that c+ is the highest that you got. 5) abandoning taking care of yourself for academics 6) later realising that abandoning yourself for academics was not worth it. 7) showing up to class and realising that you are so unprepared compared to everyone else in your class who have notebooks, pens, and you just showed up with your laptop. 8) realising that you actually have to put in effort if you want to pass the class 9) the first time that you visit the bar or club in the area or just your first night out 10) realising that you actually have to take care of yourself if you want to graduate so yeah looking forward to sophomore year.
