All the beach sand from our countless Summer beach trips gets wiped away from our backseats, soon to be replaced with books, past due papers, and backpacks that will probably be the reason we have back problems by age 30. We've reached the inevitable - back to school.

1. Your folders are organized, color-coated and your backpack is generally clean

You bought a nice new planner and you’ve still got a whole five new pencils in your bag contrary to the end of the semester trend where you have a piece of lead and stale Cheetos in the bottom of your bag.

2. Back-to-school commercials started July 5th

I’m not sure how it actually happens, but I think Walmart has a S.W.A.T. team redecorate the seasonal aisle as the last Fourth of July firework goes off.

3. You just forked out your entire paycheck for some new year new clothes

But let’s be real, you’re still going to wear that old, perfectly worn-in oversized T-shirt you got five years ago at least once a week anyway.

4. You’re holding onto your last bit of Summer with an iron grip

I have 30 minutes for my lunch break, I can make it to the beach and back by then, right?

5. You picked up a pencil for the first time all summer

Is that really what my handwriting looks like???

6. You try to go to bed at a reasonable hour.

But somehow you’re on the 6th episode of "Stranger Things" already and it’s 3 a.m.

7. Time to stop worrying about your beach bod.

The one you promised yourself last winter that you’d finally have, but the only crunches you did all summer was on some Frito Lays.

8. Fall’s just around the corner.

Unless you live in the South, then it’s Summer year round.

9. Gum sales probably increase by 50 percent.

It’s pretty much an implied school supply at this point.

10. Your bank account is crying.

My bank account thought I had some mysterious activity when my entire account got cleaned out all of a sudden, so I had to explain to them that everything was fine, I’m just a college student.
