The first week of college has passed! Definitely have to remember for next year to do as much as I can over the summer. The first weekend is really just a mad rush to get things done. It's pretty ridiculous.

And definitely also have to do the readings. I was so lost in Calculus I on the first two days because I wasn't reading the book and the teacher expects us to.

In addition, I also missed the first class on the second day of school. Totally just sleep through my alarm and missed it. It was a pretty terrible day.

But for the most part, college is fun. All the girls on the floor are awesome, no major drama (but stayed tuned).

Friend Update: Have a bunch of them and we all love each other. We're literally the people that others look at and just go "how the hell are you people friends?!".

So even though move-in day was on a Thursday, and there are a whopping total of three days left in the week, we were given our meal plan for the normal amount.

Meaning?

Today not only are people eating their meals at normal times, but they (read: freshmen) are also (attempting) to use up the rest of their meal swipes. (This, by the way, is fiscally responsible and wasteful at the same time.)

In my case, I haven't eaten on campus yet, so I have had 10 meal swipes (valued at $65). Post shopping I am left with a whopping total of 3 (?) meal swipes ($19.50) left. These swipes will probably go unused and therefore be forfeited back to the university. Oh well.

A list of what I purchased:

Gatorade

Milk

Ice cream

Propel

Chips (Lays and Stacys)

Apple juice

Starbucks coffee

Moving into a dorm was definitely a weird experience. You start with a just a bed, desk, wardrobe, and dresser and then all of a sudden you have a million boxes and bins to go through.

I was lucky though; I got everything moved in before the rain started. (It lasted till the end of move-in and I felt bad for everyone who moved in during the rain.)

A little less than 18 hours after move-in day, I have (mostly) everything put away. However, I did forget a bunch of things at home (my electric kettle and tea, razor, shampoo(!!!), alarm clock, etc.).

Wright State has a bunch of things planned for Welcome Week but they seem kind of on top of each other. And once you've moved into your dorm already, there isn't always a ton of stuff to do. I mean, you can only walk your class schedule so many times, right?

One of my best friends, Jess, moved into her school (University of Dayton) the day after me. She got rained on for a bit :(

I was super worried about not making any friends because I kind of shy. But the two girls who dorm next to me, Sara and Lexii, are super nice and we hang out.
