The 5 Stages Of Starting Fall Semester As Told By 'Bob’s Burgers'

Starting the fall semester is always the hardest thing to do, because the three months of summer freedom are over and you have now sold your soul back to school as classes begin again. It’s a rough life out there for a college student, y’all. There are many terrible stages as the semester begins again but to make it simpler, I’ll just give you five!

1. Excitement

You get excited as you begin to move back, because you finally get to see all of your best friends again! My personal second favorite of coming back for fall semester is FOOTBALL SEASON STARTING SOON. You reunite with all of your friends and get to catch up on everything that you did this summer! You get to hang out and relax before the stress of the semester begins!

2. Crying

You begin to sell your soul to the bookstore as you spend close to $400 on just textbooks alone. You then realize you have to go back to being a broke college student, because you just spent your last summer job paycheck on your textbooks.

3. Temporary Stress


You already start to stress because you begin to look at just the first chapter of your textbook. As you look at the first chapter, you realize you REMEMBER NOTHING THAT YOU LEARNED IN PRIOR SEMESTERS. This causes you to begin to panic and stress, but then remember that sometimes the professors are nice enough to at least review before teaching new material.

4. Relaxation

You finally begin to relax again, because you realize that you still have a few days of summer left. You use these last few days to sleep in while you can, finish binge watching any shows that you started on Netflix, hiding in your room from people, reading for fun, or even still spending time with your friends. Enjoy this stage while you can!

5. Panic

This begins the night before classes begin. The horrible, horrible Sunday night. You’re sitting with your friends when one of them suddenly says, “Y’all, classes start tomorrow.” Everyone then looks at one another in shock and realizes how fast these last few days went by because y’all were having so much fun being back together. Everyone begins to panic all together because your sweet, sweet freedom is gone and you now belong to your classes and student organizations yet 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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.

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.
