8 Emotions We All Feel When Going Back To School
Efoods Direct

As summer winds down, it means that it’s time to go back to school and even though you had a bunch of plans to get out and have fun, we all know you stayed inside in the air conditioning binge watching Orange is the New Black. Whether you went to an in-state school or traveled far from home, you’ll be reunited with friends… and homework. Read on to recall the emotions of returning to school after a long, hot summer.

1. Excitement

As crazy and annoying your family can be, you’re ready to get back to your best friends, all the tailgating done at various sports events and the frat party. Did anyone say flip-cup?

2. Shock/surprise

This textbook cost how much? You forgot that you had to give up all your money, your left leg and your unborn child for this organic chemistry course book. While they probably won’t get their intended use, they’ll make great paper weights or TV stands for your dorm.

3. Broke


“Where has all your money gone?” You don’t know why you only have three dollars in your wallet… and who knows how much is left in your bank account. Hopefully you can find a friend that will let you use their Netflix account…

4. Comfortable

After the first few weeks have past, you feel dare we say… calm. You’ve settled into your routine: wake up, got to class (or don’t), eat, take naps and maybe do homework…

5. Hungry

Don’t try to tell me that hunger isn’t an emotion. It may be a constant state for college students… but are you hungry because you’re bored or because you’re actually hungry? One of the world’s unanswered questions remains.

6. Stressed

You have five finals and three of them are on the same day… maybe stressed is an understatement. How did you not notice that mid terms were approaching so fast? Was it all that binge watching Narcos? At this point, you’re probably calculating how many questions you can afford to get wrong in order to get a C.


7. Fear

What’s done is done, you’ve completed your mid terms… all you can do is sit and try not to think about what will happen if you fail that course required for graduation. Everything is going to be juuuuust fine... *twitch*

8. Relief

When you get your grades back after the excruciating wait and you actually passed. Treat yo' self!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
