First Day of College Classes

I can’t believe I’ve been living on campus for almost a full week! I’ve done so many different things and met so many amazing people. Today I wanted to share my first day of class experience with you! I did one of these posts for my college move-in. I love these posts because it details the day and gives a glimpse into what actually goes on.

Alright, I’m going to detail my first two days of classes since each day had different classes!

THURSDAY

I had gone almost all summer thinking that my class on Tuesday and Thursday started at 8:30. Not quite as bad as 8 AM, but still, I have to get up early. Well, the night before I discovered that the class was at 8 AM. It was an awful discovery. That meant I had to get up at 6:15 or 6:30 in order to leave my building by 7:20. Death. That’s basically death.

I woke up bright and early Thursday morning at 6:30. I got dressed, did my hair, and put on a little bit of makeup to keep me from scaring the rest of the world. I gathered my stuff and headed out the door. I was actually really nervous and excited. I mean this was my first class in college. I went down the elevator and headed out the doors. About 500 feet from the doors of my dorm, my phone buzzes. Class is canceled. Are you kidding me? I woke up early just to have class canceled? I mean that’s nice because I don’t have to walk over a mile to get to class, but I also could have slept in until like 10.

I waste enough time and 11:15 rolls around. I had English at 11:40 and wanted to get there a tad early. Need to make good impressions. My walk from my dorm to my English building is only about a 5 minute walk when the elevators decide to cooperate. English was actually really cool! It’s going to mainly be a writing class which is good. I actually enjoy writing a whole lot more than analyzing texts to find the hidden meanings of things.

My final class of the day was at 2:50. It’s a University 101 class which is basically like an extended orientation. It makes the transition from high school to college much smoother. I love my professor and his assistant. They have a great sense of humor. I’m for sure going to look forward to that class!

First day was done. Phew. I survived. Our floor spent the night hanging out and playing cards.

FRIDAY

My first and only Friday class was at 9:40 all the way across campus. Why did I choose to be a computer information systems major? I have to walk 20+ minutes to get to a majority of my classes. This particular class is accounting. Accounting at 9:40 in the morning. What an interesting class. Actually, I’m super excited for that class because we’re talking about taxes and how to fill out tax forms for a majority of the class. That’s important information! My professor seems really awesome and down to earth. I feel like I could easily talk to her if I had any issues.

Well, that was my day. My suite mate and I headed to Target to get some more school supplies and food.

I survived my first day of college! How was your first day? Did anything memorable happen? I love to hear from you all and make sure to let me know if you like these kinds of posts!
