The First Month of College, Explained in 10 Memes
The First Month of College, Explained in 10 Memes
From Move-in to midterms, these memes capture it all
Adjusting to the first few weeks of classes can definitely be a struggle. Between reuniting with friends, figuring out how to wake up early again, and realizing that one class might be way harder than it looked on paper, there’s a lot happening all at once. It’s chaotic, messy, and exciting all at the same time. To capture that energy, we’ve rounded up 10 memes that humorously portray the first month of college. Let’s get into it!
1
Mornin’
Mooooorning. It’s time for class. A new semester means new beginnings. But waking up at 7 am for class when you’ve spent a summer of relaxation at home is definitely an important reality check.
2
Feeling Cute in Your FDOC Outfit
Nothing beats finally wearing an outfit that you’ve personally curated and have been waiting to wear. Except for watching the fashion show that happens on campus on the first day. Strut your stuff, y’all!
3
We Don’t Want to Do That Tho… (Icebreakers)
The anticipation of walking into a new class is certainly a notable feeling. But icebreakers, at 8 am? And as an upperclassman? Cute, but no thank you.
4
When the Professor Actually Goes Over Content on the First Day
The name “syllabus week” can be misleading. For some, the first week is a nice transition for the semester to come. For others, it can be a little more hectic than it sounds. All I know is that it’s not giving what it’s supposed to give. Testing my patience here.
5
Keeping Track of All Your Professors’ Names
Remember when you accidentally called your teacher Mom? Be sure to make a good impression by calling your professors by their preferred name. Similar to Judge Toler, BU professors don’t play.
6
Class Ending Early
Nothing beats reviewing the syllabus and leaving class early because there’s nothing else to cover. It’s totally the vibe. Let’s get sendyyy!
7
Trying Dining Hall Food for the First Time
Who could ever forget their first time trying the tater tots at West? Or the noodle soup at Marciano’s? Because, babe, we’re feeling like Trisha Paytas with chicken fingers right now.
8
Reuniting With Your College Besties
Adrian, describe our friend group now that we’re all back on campus with our friends! It’s pretty cheerful seeing all of our favorite familiar faces walking on Comm Ave.
9
Finding Out the Final Isn’t Cumulative
For all of our Terriers who despise test-taking, this sentiment means more than you’d think. Exams aren’t always fun, but knowing that you don’t have to cram months of content into your brain in the span of a week is definitely a plus!
10
Giving Up on the Second Day and Wearing Sweatpants
Listen, being a student can be hard. So is planning outfits. But rocking your favorite sweat suit to class is still a great way to look comfy and cute. No doubt about it.
And that’s that! The start of school is always a mix of excitement, hard work, and chaotic good—and these 10 memes capture it all. From freshmen finding their classes to seniors eyeing the finish line, we can all relate to the whirlwind that’s September on campus. As you start this semester, take a breath, laugh with each other, and know we’re all in this together.
