Moving back into college can be...well...a completely mixed bag of emotions. From excitement to sadness to worry and all the packing meltdowns, it's the most wonderful/stressful/exciting time of the year. (If you're anything like me, though, you can't wait to get back.) Below are 30 thoughts that we've all had as seasoned collegiate kids before heading back to the grind of the university school year.

1. "I'm not even tan yet."

Whiter than wonder bread.

2. "I'm also broke. Where did all my summer job money go?"

College Kid Budgets 101.

3. "Oh yeah. On more food and clothes I didn't need."

Yet I'm still starving and have four shirts I actually wear.

4. "I sure will miss these home-cooked meals though."

Beans, greens, potatoes, tomatoes....

5. "I'm totally going to get my life together this year."

It's happening.

6. "I'm going to get a planner. I'm going to take up jogging, eat right, and study early for all these exams."

7. "Okay maybe not the jogging part, but everything else."

Horizontal running is more my speed.

8. "Yeah. I got this. 4.0 here I come."

I am a machine. I am a wizard.

9. "I definitely won't overpack this year."

And fourteen pairs of fuzzy socks.

10. "I can't find my (insert object here)."

Better luck next year.

11. "Can't I just skip all this packing and see my friends already?"

But actually though.

12. "I'm so mentally unprepared for homework."

My body is not ready.

13. "What would happen if I dropped out right now before the year starts? I'd still make enough money to live, right?"

...right?

14. Can I fit the semester's notes in this half-used notebook?

You know, next to all of my dinosaur drawings from Spanish class last semester?

15. "Why did I sign up for morning classes again?"

And sleep until noon.

16. "Wait....do I seriously have to buy more textbooks?"

Am I crying or laughing?

17. "What am I going to tell everyone I did this summer?

And binge-watched all 13 seasons of Grey's on Netflix.

18. "Maybe I'll actually be able to find a parking spot this year."

Jokes.

19. "How have classes not even started yet and I already feel behind?"

This syllabus is scary enough.

20. "What am I going to do with this degree anyway?"

Uh....we'll cross that bridge when we get there, fam.

21. "At least I'll have a social life again."

Honestly forgot what it was like to have friends.

22. "Maybe the school food suddenly got edible while we were gone."

A girl can dream.

23. "Can these professors NOT send emails yet?"

Please?

24. "I hate back to school commercials."

How about no?

25. "3 days left of summer is enough time to binge-watch an entire series on Netflix, right?"

Challenge accepted.

26. "Maybe I'll try some self-tanner before I leave."

"Gentle Sun-Kissed" look.

27. "Can I bring my dog to school?"

Please, mom?

28. "At least I can get unlimited desserts at the dining hall."

Feed the rainbow, taste the rainbow.

29. "Ready or not....here I come."

Another year, another student loan.

30. "I'm so excited to be back."

Ultimately, this place is my second home. And I wouldn't trade it for a thing.
