It’s August, and that means summer is over. The 20-something days left no longer count. Now that August is here, it seems like school starts tomorrow. It’s time to frantically order textbooks, make last minute plans with friends before they leave for school and then do it all over again during winter break. Never fear, this list of gifs will help process your feelings going back to school. Save these to effectively communicate to your friends how you’re feeling without having to say a word:
1. Pumped AF
This is one of the unspeakable parts of the summer. Sure, it’s great to float the summer away, make extra money while you have more time to work and then still have time to hang out with friends, but the idea of getting back into a routine is exciting for some students.2. The storm
You finally enter the structured life once again, and realize you have no clue how you survived this before. It seems like chaos. Projects and papers are due at so many different times that your planner looks like a road map that even you can’t navigate. Some gifs for your troubles:
3. Worth it
Through the chaos, there’s some perks. You get some pretty awesome friends.
4. Halfway there
Finally. Some rest. The first day of winter break feels like a nap fest. The snow is falling, and you have no obligations (other than work), to leave your house.
Mood:
Once you finally get into the routine of napping, it’s time to go back to the routine of planning for another nearly unmanageable semester.
5. Kinda pumped
At this point in the school year, you’re excited to go back for a new semester, even though you’ve had a taste of being school free.
6. The storm: take two
The dread sets in again, as projects and papers surround you. Part of you knew this was coming, but part of you hoped it would be easier than last time. It doesn’t get easier.
You're nearly more stressed than a bridezilla on her wedding day.
7. You did it
You rocked your finals after spring semester, and it’s finally back to the beginning, seeing friends over the summer, getting ready to go through it once again.
Unless you're a senior:
