The first week of classes is a strange time in the semester. You're excited to be back with all of your friends, but struggling to get back into your school-year routine. These feelings are something that we can all relate to, and now we know that our favorite Gossip Girl characters can too.
When your alarm for your 8 a.m. goes off.
Is it Friday yet?
When you actually show up for your 8 a.m. on time.
We all know this won't last past the first week, but you might as well enjoy it while you can.
When you realize you forgot to do your summer reading.
Looks like you're going to be pulling an all-nighter.
When your professor hands you the syllabus.
Four exams, three papers AND daily homework assignments??
When you want an A but it's a really hard class.
You're pretty sure that no amount of late nights and energy drinks are going to help you out on this one.
When a freshman takes your seat in class.
Anyone who thinks there's not assigned seating in college is sadly mistaken. Even when there's not actually a seating chart, all upperclassmen know that once someone claims a seat, you don't take it.
When your professor assigns you a 15 page paper.
Your professors act like you're trying to become a writer, not an accountant.
When the professor tells you that this is going to be an easy class.
Do they think you didn't check ratemyprofessor.com and see the average grade?
When you forget to do your homework and it's only the second day.
You promised yourself that this semester was going to be different.
When you contemplate dropping out after the third day.
There are plenty of things you can do in life without a college degree, right?
When you're trying to give yourself a pep talk.
Some way or another you're going to get through this semester, just like you've gotten through every other semester.
Good luck this semester; and remember, what would Blair Waldorf do?
Xoxo, Gossip Girl.
