1.The Freedom!
Sleeping, eating, doing homework - all whenever I choose to. If I want to go on a midnight walk with one of my friends, the only thing stopping me is the cold. It's so amazing to be able to do whatever, whenever. The past 3 weeks have been so amazing, and it's largely because I've just been able to live my life and have fun. :)

2. Making Friends.
I know this was on the list of the hardest things about college, but it's also super awesome. It's hard at first, but it gets easier, and I LOVE to meet new people. I love the people on my floor, in my classes, and the randoms I meet just from being around. The people at Concordia are so amazing, no joke.
3. The Classes
Yes, the homework sucks, but it's so awesome to take the classes that I'm actually interested in. No more having to take crappy classes just because. I suppose this goes along with the freedom as well, but it's just so awesome that I thought it deserved a number. :)]
4. The Clubs
There's something for everyone, here at Concordia. I'm actually having a hard time trying not to join all the clubs I want. I'm sticking with 2 for now (Campus Democrats and Circle K) because I'm a little afraid of burning out from doing too much right away. Next year though... I'm doing everything!
5. The People
Everyone here is so nice. I've experienced nothing but acceptance and niceness (is that a word?) from everyone I've met. I can strike up a conversation with anyone I meet, whether they be an upperclassman, faculty, or just another freshman like me. This is definitely the kind of environment that I've always dreamed of being in. The camaraderie is fantastic and sense of belonging is even better.
Being a college freshman is way better than being a high school freshman. Not a joke.
