This past week, most people have moved back to school and started college classes. We all know freshmen and transfer students are universally excited and terrified. But how do the rest of college students feel about school? Well, I have found that everyone has very mixed reactions and emotions about returning to college. Here are some feels that many of us can feel:
“I can’t wait to be back with my friends!”
Most of us live spread out around the country, far away where we can freely bother each other. I mean, you still can through Facetime, group chats, Skype, etc. However, it’s still not the same. Now, since we’re back, all we have to do is take a stroll over to someone’s dorm to hang out.
“I don’t want to wooork!”
Or in other words, let’s just ditch responsibility and watch all the Shrek movies. While some classes are fun to attend, studying, group projects, and papers aren’t. All you want to do is hang out with people when you have shiploads of homework to do.
“Ugh, I have to get up early again for my 8 am class.”
Some people like getting up that early, but a lot of us don’t. As a result of early classes, it can literally be a struggle for night owls to get out of bed. Also, you just may love sleep and never get enough of it.
“I miss these people.”
If you knew any seniors from last year, you’ll notice almost all of them are gone. You find yourself discussing their achievements and etc. with freshmen who have no idea who these people are. And then, you feel empty inside because a void has opened up because the seniors are gone. This can also apply to people who have transferred, withdrawn, etc. It’s truly a sad time.
“Thank God those people are gone!”
WARNING: This next gif could cause seizures!
If there was a person you didn’t like that left school, you can be more than overjoyed that they are gone. Whether it be an ex-bestie, someone you used to date, or just some jerk in your hall, they’re gone. Keep your fingers crossed that you never have to deal with them again.
“Yay, its recruitment season!”
If you’re involved in Greek life in any shape or form, this time of year is for recruitment. Whether it be done formally or informally, it’s definitely happening. Everyone is hyped to gain new brothers and or sisters to add to their family.
“How has time flown by so quickly?”
Although applicable for anyone, this is the biggest source of feels for seniors. This is their last year of school, after this they have to take the next step into adulthood. Whether it be entering the workforce, attending grad school, joining the army, or anything at all, they have to have a plan. And to be frank, it’s incredibly scary. Yet, you wouldn’t have it any other way.
