Moving back to your college town is such an exciting time filled with reuniting with friends you haven’t seen in months. However, once you’re finally back in the swing of things, you’re sure to have thought and or said these out loud.
- I need to buy my textbooks
During the first few days back, you can always find college students on their laptops comparing prices of books sold from the campus bookstore, Amazon, and other online sources. You can also find them stressing over when their books will arrive, and wondering which books you will actually wind up needing, and which ones were wasted money.
2. I miss my___.
My own bed, my dog, my family. Sometimes you never really know what you have until you move away from it.
3. I’m blowing all my money
You tell yourself that you won’t constantly go out to eat or online shop, but you haven’t even been back a week and you’re already doing exactly that.
4. I’m already stressed out.
Being back is exciting, but it isn’t until you’re back that you realize that, yes, classes are starting, which means pulling all-nighters to study for tests and being held accountable for your assignments. However, classes starting means having more structure in your day, and having more to do than to binge-watch Netflix (although, don’t get me wrong, that isn’t a bad thing either).
5. I’m so sunburnt.
If you’re anything like me, you came back from summer vacation red as a tomato. The only consolation is that you know that eventually it will fade to tan.
