In the opening moments of the pilot, Felicity is standing at her graduation, wondering what lies ahead. In voiceover, she says, "I suddenly had a horrible thought. What if high school went way, but the feeling of it did? I didn't feel joy, or sorrow, or anticipation...all I could feel was dread." It's totally natural to be worried about how you'll ...
The summer after graduation can be a whirlwind of emotions. You're excited but scared, preparing for college but also feeling like you don't ever want the summer to end. Sometimes, surges of inspiration, just like the one Felicity feels after talking with Ben, hit, and can be the kick in the pants you need to make something important happen. Felici...
Felicity bails on her scholarship to Stanford to chase a boy across the country and instead attend college in New York. While that's probably not a thing most people do, it's not strange to feel like maybe you've made the wrong decision, should have gone somewhere else, or change your mind at the last minute. Second guessing yourself is totally nat...
When heading to a new city, or even just navigating a new campus, you're bound to get lost trying to find your way around. But feeling lost isn't just a physical sensation. You're bound to feel lost emotionally and stressed out as a result. Felicity sure did, especially because she had everything planned out for her already and then abandoned that ...
By making taped letters to send to her friend Sally, Felicity tries to hold on to home, but not the home she shares with her parents. Rather, it's the one person that she feels is her family and understands her: her pen pal Sally. Whether you bring a stuffed animal, a favorite blanket, decorations, or a token from home, it's natural to grasp hold o...
Adjusting to life away from home can be really freaking hard. Even if you find it easy, sometimes the tears just come. Overwhelming emotions can come on at the most inconvenient of places, just like it does for Felicity in the middle of class during her first week. But, if the crying fit hadn't come along, then Felicity wouldn't have met Julie.
Felicity meets Julie while crying in the middle of their class. You'd be surprised how many friendships you make in college that are forged over intense tears or laughter. But a simple act of kindness, like the funny note Julie shares with Felicity, can solidify a friendship for life.
Felicity's dorm room is pretty freaking sweet. In fact, her freshman dorm is probably the biggest I've ever seen on television. These, my friends, don't exist in real life. So don't be alarmed when you find yourself sharing a living space with another person (or more than one) in something like an 11x14 foot room. And that living situation gets eve...
My freshman year of college, I was placed with two girls who were already high school best friends who were completely different from me. Suffice to say we did not get along, at least not until two-thirds of the way through the year when one of them moved out and I got to know the other on solo terms. Felicity doesn't immediately get along with her...
College can be a totally tempting opportunity to completely change who you are. No one knows you there, so it's not like you have to stick to any personality traits or characteristics you've already defined for yourself in your previous 17 or 18 years of life. It takes a while for Felicity to embrace that chance, but hints of it occur during the pi...
