With the fall semester approaching, Summer'16 has just about come to an end. This week entails the lasts of summer which means attending the last parties, meeting up with friends from home, finally the last week of work,and the last of just about everything before your mind is clouded with the loads of work receive syllabus week. While its unfortunate that school is starting, nothing is more exciting than finally having the freedom you're used to. Sure parties will be replaced with classes and all-nighters Netflix binging will turn into all-nighters of doing papers but its worth it right? Here are 4 signs you're beyond ready for fall semester.

You've already packed all your clothes


Some might say you're super organized you're just saying you're ready to get out of your house, packing is the most gruesome task of going back to school. You either over pack or under pack and you're never sure what to bring, my answer: bring everything. All of your clothes are packed into little suitcases, the mini fridge is unplugged and everything is at the door waiting to be situated into the car on Sunday. If it was up to you they'd already be packed in the car, anything to get you to back to school as fast as possible.

You have a countdown

When summer started we all had this internal clock that would remind you "oh it's June, schools in three months" but as soon as August hit the count down was more of a 20 days, 15 days, and now you sit at home in your room with a countdown on your phone that says "fall '16 in four days 10 hours and 42 seconds". Its not like you're counting down until classes, you're counting down to your roommate, friends, parties and all of the college things that don't actually include classes.

You went shopping for school supplies

As a college student back to school shopping isn't as fun as it was in high school, back then you'd get all the cool notebooks and pens to show off for the new semester. I used to buy gel pens every semester and color coordinate my notebooks with my folders and get a new bag every year. Now it's all about books for your major and money you throw to the bookstore or Cheggs. That hasn't stopped you, you already have all your textbooks for the semester in tow as well as all the studying apps and flash cards you're going to need this semester.

You made plans for the upcoming semester before it even started


You've already texted your friends and decided when you're going out to party, whose going to the homecoming events, if you're planning on joining any clubs this year and so on so forth, you just can't wait for the semester to begin so you can get back to being in the full swing of things again.

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.

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
