What Everyone Is Literally Thinking As They Leave For College

What has been going through my head this past week.

What Everyone Is Literally Thinking As They Leave For College
TV Tropes

I leave for college this coming week and I am mentally not there yet. Where did the summer go? What did I actually do this summer besides work, eat and try to save money? These are all really good questions but the real question is how I am going to pack in three days? Here are some of my favorite ones I have thought up this past week.

"OH GOD, I'M GOING TO FORGET SOMETHING!!!"

Okay, we all have this thought, whether it is a vacation or simply leaving something at home. I have an irrational fear that I will be leaving all my bed stuff behind.

"Did I save enough money?"

In all honesty, we can never save enough, because college will run you dry just as fast as you can make enough to live on for a semester or two.

"I'm going to miss my friends"

I've been at home for quite some time going to school during the past year and a half and most of my friends from high school had left before I did. I did have a couple friends home this summer and we had a ton of great times, I am just sad there aren't more of them.

"Why did I wait till last minute to pack?"

That's a really good question. I literally have no answer.

"Will my social anxiety get the best of me there?"

As a 21-year-old, I still am required to have a dining plan. That means that I will be forced to go to a dining hall alone or just at all. For some people, this is nothing to complain about. Again, it is something some people just want peace and that's me. Freshman can have it.

"Why do I constantly spend money on food?"

If you are a college kid, you know what I mean.

"What do I do now?"

Just relax. Life is going to get a lot more interesting again.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
