As the Spring semester is just beginning at colleges across the country, and students are diving back into the college grind, here are 11 thoughts I have about starting the new semester.

1. It's actually kind of nice to be back.

Seeing college friends again and watching Netflix in a different bed –– it's all good news.

2. But I'm actually dreading the first day of classes.

Why can't we stay in this magical grace period between when we get back to school and when we start having work to do forever?

3. Do I really need all these books?

Or are they going to be 100 pounds and 700 dollars of wasted space?

4. I hope my TA grades easy.

Nothing worse than having the TA with the harshest grading in the class.

5. I hope my friends and I have a lunch break at the same time.

Everyone having new class schedules means creating a whole new set of lunch dates.

6. I promise I wont skip class this semester.

Or at least not as much as I did last semester.

7. Oh how I missed late nights in the library.

That is sarcasm. I did not miss them even one little bit.

8. Please let me have friends in my classes, please let me have friends in my classes, please let me have friends in my classes.

Or at least please let me make a class friend.

9. I promise I will do more on the weekends this semester than go to frat parties and Chipotle.

But actually I probably wont.

10. Maybe I'll actually go to the gym this semester.

New semester, new me, right?

11. I hope this semester is amazing.

Lets make this semester the best semester ever!
