12 Thoughts College Students Have Before Fall Semester Starts

It's that time of year again. Summer is coming to an end, and a new semester is about to begin. As I make plans to hang out with my friends I won't see in a while, and prepare for the new year, there are a number of thoughts running through my mind. Some may be excited for a new year, others may be dreading the start of responsibilities and lack of mom's home cooking, or you're in an between state of wanting to go back, but feel overwhelmed by another of year of classes (me). Nonetheless, every college student can admit to having at least one of these thoughts.

1. "Where's all my stuff?"

After being at home for almost three months, you somehow accumulate way more things than you came with. You have absolutely no idea what to bring to campus and what to leave at home.

2. "I'm going to miss being home so much!"

Home cooked meals. No responsibilities. Netflix binges. Family and friends you haven't seen in a while. Being home is wonderful

3. "This town sucks I can't wait to be back on campus"

You've forgotten how boring your small town can be, and how annoying it can be at home...A part of you can't wait to get back to school

4. "This has been the shortest three months ever..."

It feels like you just left school a few weeks ago, and somehow you're packing to go back. I thought I had one more month left!

5. "When's spring break?"

Simultaneously can't wait for school to start, but also can't wait for it to over because you know how stressful it's going to be!

6. That's seriously all the financial aid I got?!"

You log in to see your financial aid package, only to realize debt is the only thing in your future.

7. "I need to start adulting ASAP!"

The older you get the more responsibility you get, and it's never ending. You're still so lost in this whole being an adult thing

8. "UGH"

Packing. Moving. Classes. Everything seems so tasking when all you want to do is nothing

9."Why am I so broke?"

You thought you might save some money this summer by living at home and having mom cook for you, but somehow all the money you "saved" disappeared into nothing

10. "I hope mom makes me food to go"

How to go from home cooked meals every night to ramen and dining hall "food"

11. "I'm going to get all 'A's' this semester"


A new semester always elicits a "new year, new me" mentality.

12. "This semester is going to kill me."

...but that doesn't last very long.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
