The End of Summer, As Told By 'Friends'

Getting back into your college routine is never easy.

The End of Summer, As Told By 'Friends'
pinkisthenewblog.com

The end of summer vacation can be filled with many different emotions, both happy and sad. It's difficult getting used to one routine for a few months and then having to switch back to another for an entire semester. Luckily, Friendsis here to empathize with our "end of the summer blues."


1. It is time to say an emotional "good-bye" to our hometown friends.

Allow the group hugs and tear-filled eyes to commence.

2. Putting in your two weeks after working like a lunatic all summer has never felt so good.


Thanks for the paychecks all summer, but it's time to be a free bird now.

3. Figuring out what things to bring to school and what to leave at home.


AKA the biggest challenge you've had since your math final in May. It usually ends up with me asking myself questions like "Did I bring that last year?" "Do I need six pairs of black heels?"

4. You remember there's no such thing as "privacy" at school, and your friends will be in your room, all day every day.


Friend: "Can I come in?"

You: "Not now, I'm busy!"

Friend: *Walks right on in* "Does my armpit smell weird?"

5. Mom's home made dinners won't be waiting for you after a long day of classes so savoring them while you can is a must.

I am not physically, mentally, and emotionally ready to eat pizza and tacos every single night.

6. Getting back into a regular sleep pattern is not looking too positive.

You: "It's 1 a.m., I have an 8 a.m. class, and I can't sleep."

Brain: "Did you know the meaning of 'Be there or be square' is because you're not 'a-round?'"

7. Once you get back to school though, you realize you missed "home" more than you originally thought and get ready for an amazing semester ahead.

Syllabus week 2016 is gonna be cr-a-a-a-zy!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate.
