Fall semester is right around the corner. Summer classes are winding down and the email with your fall tuition amount as come out. Fall semester is something to be both excited about and dreaded about.
On the one hand, all your besties that went home for the summer or studied aboard are coming back but on the other hang, fall semester isn't as laid back as summer. The full 16 week courses are back and the professors who make you life miserable are back too. But its also tailgate season, rush and all the other activities that were shut down during the summer.
So here is to fall semester, we love to hate you.
When you first see your bestie again after not seeing them all summer
Its been months and you'll only seen them through facetime. Your life is now complete again
When you get that first "Welcome to class email" and there is an assignment due the first day
I mean who actually does work during syllabus week?
When you remember that you signed up for an 8 am on Mondays and have to prepare yourself
Every semester we do it and every semester we regret it.
When you have that first meal back at the cafe on campus and realize you did not miss it at all
EVERYTHING HAS MUSTARD ON IT, WHY
When that one friend comes back with a "European boyfriend" that she won't tell you anything about
We get it, you went to England for the summer but did Liam really come back with you
The flyers start going up for the first football game and you can't contain your excitement
The best part of fall is finally back, tailgating
Waking up the next morning after going out with everyone for the first time in months
Someone is lost, someone is half dead and you have no idea what even happened
When you meet the one random roommate that you ended up with
Sometimes they're great and sometimes they're bad, really bad
Half way through the first day of classes
Fall semester classes are very different from summer classes.
Fall semester is always the best semester, no matter how much we complain about it
Had to throw some Scott in there as well
