The time of year has come where back-to-school sales are everywhere, summer jobs are wrapping up, goodbyes to our "home friends" are said and every college student everywhere anxiously awaits moving back into sweet, sweet freedom (3 weeks but who's counting?). Here are 15 thoughts college students have in anticipation of going back to school.

1. When you realize that your summer vacation is basically over (which means you have to say goodbye to home-cooked meals, your bed, and your car and hello to homework, papers and communal bathrooms).

2. But, that means that you get to be reunited with your college friends, your favorite spots on campus, and of course, total freedom.

3. You begin to picture the horror that is moving a truck full of your ~necessities~ up three flights of stairs to your new home in the summer heat.

4. Though proud of your all-natural tan from lounging out by your pool, you have nightmares of turning back into your pale self and experimenting with self-tanner to keep that healthy glow alive well into the fall.

5. You take your last few showers without shoes and imagine bracing yourself to slide those flip flops back on and endure a shower in a communal bathroom with Jenny's hair on the wall.

6. That also reminds you that you'll have to re-learn how to contort your body in such a way that you can actually shave your legs in a tiny shower stall.

7. You then began to imagine returning to classes and inevitably having at least one teacher who ignores the concept of syllabus week and expects you to have a full paper done by the second day of classes.

8. You also wonder if you'll have one of ~those~ kids in your class that reminds the teacher about homework that was due. Shut up Timmy, you know full well that no one did the reading.

9. You also prepare yourself to deal with the kids in class who make you wonder "how the hell did you get into this school" on a daily basis.

10. You switch to happier thoughts of going out any night of the week with your favorite people and dancing to your favorite songs in dirty frat basements.

11. You hope you have neighbors that won't tell on the RA if you decide to have a dance party at 2 AM or if it was your burnt popcorn that set off the fire alarm (again).

12. You start to brainstorm super unique costumes for Halloween so you aren't caught dead being anything basic like a cat.

13. You can't wait to see if that couple that everyone seems to know about actually made it through the summer in an LDR or if Chris cheated on Kelly because he thought they were on a break.

14. Lastly, you wonder how you possibly made it through the summer without your college friends by your side and how you can possibly wait 3 more weeks until you are all reunited back on campus.
