"The Diary of a Freshman" by Charles Macomb Flandrau is a humorous novel written in the early 20th century. The story captures the experiences of a young freshman at Harvard University as he navigates his new life, dealing with the challenges and adjustments of college life. The protagonist offers a relatable perspective on the trials and tribulations of being a newcomer, including interactions with quirky classmates and the humorous struggles of settling into a new environment. At the start of the narrative, the main character reflects on his feelings about his mother leaving him to begin his college experience. He humorously recounts the preparations leading up to his arrival at Harvard, including his mother’s worries about his health and living conditions, as well as their efforts to find an accommodation. Once settled into his room, he experiences a mix of anticipation and anxiety about starting this new chapter of his life, ultimately meeting other freshmen and wrestling with feelings of homesickness and the desire to fit in. The opening portion sets the stage for a lighthearted exploration of freshman life, establishing a blend of wit and earnestness that continues throughout the book.
