1. You have little trouble getting a seat in the periodicals room.

2. Which is helpful, because you’re taking four classes in anticipation of having no social life.

3. You spend hours going through others' FSP pictures.

4. And you receive exotic Snapchats from your best friends..

5. Meanwhile, you suspect you've developedseasonal affective disorder.

6. Your old "friend of a friend" becomes your new best friend.

7. And then you form inside jokes with these new friends; it’s like your own FSP!

8. You live alone in a two-room triple.

9. Or you're in some super random living situation that you never imagined yourself to be in three terms ago.

10. If you haven't already, you have to decide on a major before the end of the term, sparking all sorts of "what am I doing with my life?" insecurities.

11. But that's okay, because at least you hold an officer position in a campus organization by default, even if you are woefully under-qualified.

12. The GroupMe you once used to plan FoCo dinners is now obsolete, leading to many more dinners alone.

13. Come to think of it, where did my pledge class go?

14. But at least Collis pasta is now a feasible endeavor at 6:30 p.m.!
