It's the happiest of times, but it's also the most annoying of times...it's a new semester of college! For the freshman, congrats -- you've made it through your first ever semester, but for the rest of us, keep on working -- you know the drill. You've been home for three-plus weeks, trying to recover from the hell you put yourself through during finals. You've probably watched a couple seasons of a show on Netflix, eaten half your weight in your mom's cooking, and are totally pumped to head back to school. While it's an exciting time, here are 13 thoughts/annoyances/bright sides that I have personally been pondering in the hours before heading to my first class of the semester.
1. Having to leave your parents house, where there's food, clean laundry, and constant 'I miss you' hugs from your mom.
2. Getting to see all of your college friends after three weeks of seeing every single person that you ever met in high school.
3. Realizing that you'll have to go to class if you go back to school, which no one is looking forward to.
4. Slowly realizing that you were "only joking" when you promised yourself you'd go to the gym everyday.
5. Knowing deep down that something has to be done about your sleep schedule. While it's nice during break, going to sleep at 3 am and not waking up until noon isn't going to help you make your 9 am lecture.
6. Promising yourself that you'll try to save your money. Haha, good one.
7. Learning how to use your brain again on a daily basis -- and not just to decide when to shower or what show to binge-watch next.
8. Trying to find all of your classes during syllabus week, while simultaneously trying even harder to avoid looking like a lost freshman.
9. Keeping your cool -- even if your GPA isn't even close to where you want it to be.
10. Promising yourself that you'll go to every single one of those long, boring, and straight-up horrible lectures to make up for last semester.
11. But just kind of having a feeling that won't work out very well for you.
12. Realizing your schedule for this semester sucks (but seriously, what was I thinking in November when I made this thing???).
13. Wait, do I seriously have to buy more textbooks?
