15 Thoughts Everyone Has During Their First Week Back In College

In This Article:

Although students expect syllabus week to be easy, there's still some parts of college life that will throw you off during your first week back.

1. I have to find food for myself.

Looks like I'll have to learn to cook, or it's take-out and dining hall food for the rest of the year.

2. Why is college so expensive.

It's fine I love paying hundreds of dollars for textbooks I will never use again.

3. Oh my gosh I am so busy.

How does one manage to balance homework, classes, clubs, and a social life?

4. I forget everything I learned last year.

Can we please review the entirety of the last course?

5. I should go to the gym.

Considering the amount of junk food I eat, it's that or only taking the stairs.

6. I miss my family

As much as I love being back in college, it's crazy to think about them being 60 minutes away instead of 5.

7. This is going to be a lot of work

Thank you, syllabi, for listing loads of work that I'm already planning on procrastinating.

8. Classes are so long

Especially when the room doesn't have a clock

9. I never want to do laundry

I'll just keep a mountain of dirty clothes under my bed thank you very much

10. Why did I schedule so many 8 AMs?

Better question, why do I hate myself?

11. Is this Bachelor's Degree worth it?

I could probably still have a nice career in the food service industry.

12. How are people already sick?

13. Maybe this year I'll start my coffee addiction

Anything to stay awake for over five minutes.

14. I never want to leave my room

Even getting out of bed is tough.

15. I actually kind of missed this

It's been a long summer away, and even though it's going to be hard it's good to be back.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
