I'm Excited To Go Back To College As Soon As Possible

Summer is great and all, but what if school was better?

I'm Excited To Go Back To College As Soon As Possible

Towards the end of my freshman year of college, I was bursting at the seems to go home; I was over school, over partying, and over my cramped and disgusting dorm room. All I thought and talked about was returning to my comfortable bed, eating my mom's amazing comfort food, and having a break from the craziness that comes with FSU. However, as the month of June came to a close, I came to the shocking realization that I was ready to go back to school.

I've always been the person to over-hype something and then be disappointed when reality doesn't turn out exactly like my fantasies. I expected summer to be full of road trips with my high school friends, beach days with my family, fun house parties, and countless memories that I would be able to take back to FSU with me, but instead, all I have done is work, watch Netflix in bed, and wish I had the busy schedule of a college student again.

I have a bad habit of putting too much pressure on things and then feeling super let down when my expectations are not met, so when I realized this summer was going to be nothing like what I imagined, I freaked out. Freshman year of college is full of many ups and downs, and I convinced myself that once it ended and I went home, I would feel like I was unstoppable. Instead, I've been bored and restless and counting down the days until I can go back.

I'm aware that the moment I go back to school I will be wishing to be back home, but I just need to accept the fact that there's no place in this world that will be perfect. I have to accept that there will be downsides no matter where I go and that it's my duty to make the best of every environment for the simple notion that life will become much more enjoyable once I do.

In about four weeks, I will be embarking on my sophomore year of college and will be trying my hardest to live in the present instead of wishing for the future. I will be embracing all of the hardships that accompany being a student, whilst also appreciating the experiences that I undergo, and will hopefully see home as simply a home instead of an escape.

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.
