31 Thoughts Students Have The First Week Back
Prospective Doctor

As the new semester begins, students are torn between eagerness to start off the spring semester and dreading it at the same time. With the new semester brings plenty of new challenges and adventures. On the first week of school, there are a million things running through head of students, especially when it comes to the spring semester.

It's still early enough in the new year that some students are still trying to live up to their New Years resolutions, or maybe restart completely. The first week of school is always chaotic. Many people try to gather their thoughts and try to organize themselves for the semester ahead. Here are 31 thoughts everyone has the first week back to school:

1. I can't believe how fast winter break winter went.

2. Maybe I should check my Blackboard now...

3. This semester's looking rough.

4. Thank god, we have two Mondays off this month.

5. When's spring break?

6. How did I go to school at 7:30 every morning back in high school?

7. Ugh, I have to set an alarm clock.

8. I hope my textbooks aren't too expensive.

9. Was there always this many people in school?

10. Wow, I need a nap.

11. Why'd I sign up for a 9:45 a.m. class?

12. Why did I think taking a class at 8:25 p.m. was a good idea?

13. There's more students than seats in this class, how is that possible?

14. I'm gonna try to stay on top of all my work this semester.

15. Wow, this is a lot of homework for the first week. Do professors know it's syllabus week?

16. Should I even buy the textbooks?

17. Okay, on Rate My Professor this guy had a chili pepper and he's an old man, did I miss something?

18. I get you didn't see your friends over break but no need to stop in the middle of the hallway and scream.

19. There was an assignment due? It's only the second day.

20. How is it possible that I'm already behind?

21. I'll try to dress up and not look like I just rolled out of bed. *second day of class comes in actual pajamas*

22. Let me stalk all my professors on Facebook.

23. I can't wait until Friday so I can go out and forget about this week.

24. This honestly has to be the longest week in all of human history. I didn't think time could move this slowly.

25. How many more days are left in the semester?

26. Why is my professor already talking about our final project?

27. Is it even allowed for my professors to assign a 70 page reading due in two days?

28. Why is everyone walking so slow in the hallways? Oh my god.

28. Please don't make us work in groups.

29. Or introduce ourself to the class.

30. I need a fun fact about myself. What do I say?

31. This is going to be a long semester.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
