It’s almost that time of year again: fall semester! Sure, there might be an uproar of people saying “uuugh”, but there is so much to look forward to as we return for a new school year.
We’ve all had time to decompress and take some time for ourselves. Getting to see friends from high school, spending time with family, and having the luxury of sleeping in your own bed is just a few of the perks of being home. But after three long months of working, going on vacations, and lots of hibernating, it’s definitely time to head on back to school.
Let’s all take a moment to remember all that’s ahead of us this coming school year:
1. Seeing friends from school after months of being apart
It feels like years since we’ve seen our BFFs that used to live seconds away. Distance truly makes the heart grow fonder!
2. Having a brand new room
Decorating a new living space is easily one of the most exciting things about living away from home. I feel like I belong on HGTV once I'm done with my masterpiece.
3. Feeling comfortable and confident when navigating the campus
Remember when finding classes was an absolute nightmare at first? Now, it feels like I’ve lived here all my life. Anyone need directions?
4. Showing off your new clothes purchased purely for the new semester
Let’s be real, those summer blow out sales aren’t for nothin’. And we definitely all took advantage of every single one we saw. Peep me looking fabulous this semester.
5. Enjoying the last few months of nice weather
It’s the tail end of summer and the beginning of the beautiful fall season. Before we know it, we’ll be cooped up watching the snow pile up on the ground, so let’s enjoy the sunshine while it lasts!
6. Football season
“It’s the most wonderful tiiime, of the yeaaar…”
7. New friendships
Of course seeing our besties from last year is super exciting, but finding some new buddies each year is just as awesome.
8. Focusing more on your major and future professional life
A new year means new courses and opportunities to build our resume. It’s finally time to get some real world experience in what we want to do the rest of our lives.
9. Parties
'Nuff said.
10. Finally eating at your favorite restaurants from school
You’re totally lying if you say you haven’t been craving your go-to foods from last year for months now.
11. Being one step closer to graduating
College is a great time to explore new things and meet all kinds of new people, but we’re all there for the same reason: we want our diplomas!
We are weeks away from a brand new year filled with friends, long nights, and memories that will last a lifetime. With all of this ahead of us, this year is bound to be amazing. Here’s to new beginnings and starting fresh!
