This episode is a total time capsule. Before moving into my dorm and living through O-Week, I sat down to record all of my guesses and predictions. Would my dorm feel cozy or chaotic? Would I thrive during O-Week or feel completely out of my depth? How much would I miss my family, and would I really be able to balance school, content, and my sanity all at once? This is the “before” version of me — making predictions, setting hopes, and maybe underestimating how real the challenges would be. Listening back after Episode 7, you’ll see what I nailed, what I got totally wrong, and how different reality turned out.
