FIrst Week Back at School

6 Things Every Returning Student Can Relate To
Katy Gentile

It's the first week of my sophomore year here at Shippensburg University! This week went by so quick and I am so thrilled to be back at my home away from home. For us returning students, people think we aren't nervous and expect us to know everything about classes, professors and campus. This simply is not the case. We may not experience our first week back to college the same way Freshmen do, but our experiences back to school are still interesting.


1. Move In

Freshmen, this is probably the only time I will envy you. You all had a solid week to move in, see friends and relax before starting classes. I had all of a day and a half to move practically my entire room from home, here to campus and try and get ready for classes on Monday.

2. Friends

We don't have the stress of having to try and find new friends and trying to meet everyone that we can. Instead we run to our friends with our arms open wide as we can't contain our excitement for another year!

3. Homesickness

Honestly so happy this stage passed me by this year! We practically shoved our parents out of the door.

4. Settling In

I noticed others and experienced myself that it took longer this year to unpack my stuff and decorate than it did my freshman year. It took me a whole week.

5. Homework before classes even started

There is nothing worse than when a professor doesn't understand the point of syllabus week. Please do not give me homework before I even get to meet you and don't jump into lessons on the very first day.

6. You promise everyone and yourself that this is the semester you're going to do better

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
