School is back in session for everyone and people are feeling it; especially us college students. The homework is back, and relentless, the sleep is minimal, the cafeteria food isn't good, the dorms are loud and the college life is hitting us hard. Here's a few thoughts every college student has the first month back at college.


1. "Syllabus week was the easiest week of the whole year."

This is the week you don't really have much homework to do, but just wait.

2. "I forgot how much homework I had last semester."

So many papers, essays, and readings.

3. "Do I really have to go to class?"

The answer is yes, yes you do have to go to class.

4. "UGGGGH."

I think this GIF sums it up.

5. "Remember, you're doing this for your future. It's worth it, just keep going."

The time you spend now will help determine the rest of your life.

6. "I'm really sick of cafeteria food and it's only been two weeks."

You can only default to pizza or a burger so many times.

7. "So. Many. Exams."

As stated above, "uggghhh."

8. "My dorm is already messy."

Clothes and homework is everywhere. Also, I should probably take out the trash and recycling soon.

9. "I need to do laundry."

Like really bad.

10. "I really need to get more food for my dorm."

Ramen, granola bars, drinks, fruit snacks, all of the above.

11. "Patiently waiting for a care package from mom and dad."

*hint hint*

12. "What is sleep?"

I need sleep.

13. "I need life to slow down a little."

Just move in slow motion.

14. "Is this assignment really that important?"

Is it really?

15. "I can't skip class, I'm paying like $50 per class period."

You're really gonna waste $50?

16. "Help me."

Please.

17. "Stop watching Netflix, and study."

OK maybe just one more episode.

18. "I miss home."

I miss my own bed, and the food, and everything about home.

19. "A nap later this afternoon is the only thing getting me through this class."

I'm gonna sleep like a baby.

20. "It's only the first month of class, it's only gonna get worse."

And maybe cry like this baby.

21. "But, I'll get back in the groove of things soon...I hope."

I really hope.

22. "Fall break is only a month away!"

Hallelujah!!

23. "As much as college stresses me out, I kinda missed it."

I really did miss it, but just a little and only certain aspects.

Whether you missed it more than I did, or dreaded coming back this fall, there's something you missed about it. And I'm sure several of these thoughts have gone through your head at some point during the past couple weeks. Go to class, do the homework and get some sleep folks.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

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.
