15 Thoughts Everyone Has During Their First Week Back In College

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.

Giphy

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.

Giphy

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

3. Oh my gosh I am so busy.

Giphy

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

4. I forget everything I learned last year.

Giphy

Can we please review the entirety of the last course?

5. I should go to the gym.

Giphy

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

6. I miss my family

Giphy

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

Giphy

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

Giphy

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?

Giphy

Better question, why do I hate myself?

11. Is this Bachelor's Degree worth it?

Giphy

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

12. How are people already sick?

Giphy

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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
