20 Signs You're Ready To Go Back To Central

Just a few more weeks at home...and then we head to our home away from home!

20 Signs You're Ready To Go Back To Central
College Fight Music

It's been a long three months apart from our home away from home, but fear not! Classes start on August 29, and us Chippewas are ready to have a great Fall semester.


1. Whenever you hear someone use the word 'pleasant' in a sentence, a single tear falls from your eye.


2. All of the stuff you've accumulated for your dorm/apartment this year is waiting in a pile, in the corner.



3. Or you just never actually unpacked from last year.

4. You took the month of June to lament the loss of Quiznos, but you spent July mentally and financially prepping for the new Burrito Bowl in the UC.



5. Speaking of Mexican cuisine, you can't help but miss Chicken Nacho Day in the caf ... whether you have a meal plan or not (worth your underclassmen friend's guest swipe, am I right?).

*DISCLAIMER: the above are not CMU Chicken Nachos

6. You immediately follow up spotting a flying C bumper sicker on the highway with a subconscious "FIRE UP, CHIPS" and your family is getting tired of it.


7. You are so pumped to hear all about what your "friends from school" have been up to all summer.

8. You are so tired of having to explain who your "friends from school" are every time you tell a story to your hometown pals.


9. You've already put the Fall football schedule into your calendar.

10. You haven't had an Insomnia Cookie in months ... and you don't know how much longer you can make it.

11. Doing your summer coursework (whether it be through Central online, or at a local college) just didn't feel right without the company of those magical, Harry Potter book shelves in the lib.


12. The Blackboard App keeps giving you funny looks on your home screen.

*My phone is in Italian, please do not be alarmed.


13. You can't help but start freaking out when you think of all of the Pokemon there are going to be on campus.


14. Trying to fit all of your maroon and gold t-shirts into one single drawer in your bedroom is becoming too much pressure.


15. If one more family member asks if, "you spend all of your time partying at that school," one more time you might actually blow a gasket.

16. You cannot wait to see the humans behind the icons of your fave school-friend group chats.


17. Visiting Mt. Pleasant for a weekend or two this summer was such a sweet tease.

18. Telling yourself that you'll "walk off" all of the ice cream you've been eating on these hot summer days by simply walking to classes in the Fall.

19. "My planner has started for the new semester ... so why aren't I at school?"

20. The Pleasant Mountain is beckoning, and you are so fricking ready to answer its call.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
