First day of a new semester brings lots of hope for most students. Need to resurrect that GPA? New year, new you? No problem, the first day is the perfect day to start fresh.

1. "I'm going to wake up in plenty of time for my 8 AM class! I might just go grab breakfast from the Union and Starbucks to wake myself up!"

Reality: Hit the snooze button on your alarm one too many times, finally waking up at 7:30, realizing you've really got to leave.

2. "Okay, so I'm a little late. I have plenty of time to make it to campus!"

Reality: Realize you go to MSU and half of the campus is blocked off due to construction. Does upgrading Mitchell Memorial Library really require Engineer Row to be closed for an entire year and a half?!?

3. "Finally get past all of the construction. Time to find a parking spot in Commuter East."

Reality: Not a single parking spot is open, oh except for a few that are in the far back corner, on the opposite end of campus. Oh but don't worry, most students will stop coming to class after the second week of class.

4. "It's chillabus week. We aren't going to do anything."

Reality: Professor starts giving 5954675 homework assignments and bombards you with notes.

But even throughout all of these struggles, you realize your college experience is limited and you realize things are going to keep looking up, because fall at MSU is the best season of them all.

Have a great year my friends! :)
