5 Thoughts Every College Student Has When Summer Ends

With summer coming to its eventual end, there are some thoughts that consistently arise with the changing seasons and the return to the college routine.

1. How was that four months?

Time passes faster in summer, I swear! Before you know it, the end of August is here, and it doesn't even feel like you've been home for four months.

2. I didn't appreciate my free time enough.

Giphy

This is a constant battle I have. I'm always worrying about not doing enough—about not appreciating the time I have when I have it—and unfortunately, the return of classes means I have less of that precious time. There will always be a book I didn't get to, a television series I didn't start, a place I didn't visit.

3. I'm not ready for endless work again.

Giphy

I still have horror flashbacks when I think about finals week. And that was four months ago. I'm so not ready to have pages upon pages of readings and heavy exams on my schedule.

4. I am ready to see my friends again.

Giphy

The silver lining, I suppose! You do get to see everyone you've missed over the break and catch up on all that lost time.

5. At least I have syllabus week to relax...

Giphy

Yeah, until your professors kick into full gear on the third day. Let's face it. Summer is over, and they're way too thrilled about being back to take it slow.

Good luck with this school year, everyone.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
