Stage 1: Deciding what your major will be.

NO PRESSURE!!!

Stage 2: Saying goodbye to your family and friends.

Crying is inevitable.

Stage 3: Meeting your new roommate(s) for the first time.

It will be awkward AF.

Stage 4: Trying to make friends.

HELP! Does anybody know how to socialize?

Stage 5: Going to your first party and trying to meet new people.

FML.

Stage 6: Starving because you can't cook.

Well, I guess you'll just have to eat ramen for the next four years.

Stage 7: Missing your parents because you're always hungry.

And you don't actually know how to do laundry.

Stage 8: Enjoying your freedom and independence.

Sorry, parents.

Stage 9: Fighting with your roommate(s) because they're messy AF.

Why can't they just clean up after themselves?

Stage 10: Waking up early every morning because you have to go to class.

I did not sign up for this. (Or did you?)

Stage 11: Winging it when the professor asks you something during the lecture.

They should call you Jon Snow, because you know nothing.

Stage 12: Realizing that midterms are sooner than you thought.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Stage 13: Buckling down.

Ready to slay the shit out of those midterms.

Stage 14: And quickly losing your motivation.

Remember the part about slaying the midterms? Not gonna happen after all.

Stage 15: Taking the exams.

HELP!

Stage 16: Miraculously passing all of your midterms.

IT'S DONE!

Stage 17: Celebrating the end of the hell that is midterms.

♫ I'm coming up so you better get this party started ♫

Stage 18: Spending all of your money on partying.

So you decide the time has come for you to visit your parents.

Stage 19: Finally going home for holidays.

Yaaass, homemade food, finally!

Stage 20: Repeating stages 1-19 all over again.

Noooooooooooo!
