As the beginning of the Spring 2018 semester rolls around, college students everywhere are getting in the last bits of their hometowns, families, and friends before they make their return to school. And while everyone is excited to see their friends after being away for a month, their return to college marks one thing-- their return to classes. And I, for one, would rather do anything than actually begin classes again, no matter what it is. For instance:
1. Eat a ghost pepper
2. Get a root canal
3. Retake my worst final
4. Sit through "the talk" again
5. Take a trip down memory lane and revisit all of my middle school memories
6. Watch a video of my own birth
7. Never be able to eat Nutella again
8. Find out that Chick-fil-a is going out of business
9. Wake up every day at 6 am
10. Repeat all 4 years of high school
11. Eat a Tide Pod
12. Never be able to tell a lie again
13. Never be able to get above a 3.0 GPA
14. Watch a 4-hour loop of those ASPCA commercials
15. Only eat dining hall food for the rest of my college experience
*let me just be clear here, dining hall food is NOTHING compared to Hogwarts
16. Never get drunk no matter how much I drink
17. Suffer the worst roommate for the next semester
18. Have my mom show my friends baby pictures
19. Be asked about my relationship status every time I talk to a relative
20. Only be able to go home for holidays all next semester
21. Spend my summer taking summer courses
22. Say everything I am thinking without a filter
23. Find out that I am allergic to my favorite food
24. Have my Netflix account suspended
25. Get suspended by Amazon Prime
In all seriousness, I would actually do 100% of these if it meant extending Winter Break. I don't know if I can handle going back to school in a week, but I guess we all have no choice. So, I hope somehow we all manage to get away with 4.0's and have had the best semester of our lives.
