Although the summer heat is still here, summer is over. The books are opening, campus is getting packed, and the endless reading begins. The first few weeks back to school are always the hardest--having to get out of bed, get to class, sit through the lecture and do the endless homework that comes with the crazy school schedule that you are forced to get used to. The school year comes with added pressers, challenges, and new experiences some fun and some that you learn from. By now as a junior you think I would have college figured out... but the truth is I don't. There are for sure at least five things about summer you will miss!

1. No Studying: Before you know it midterms and finals will be here...yes I know school just started but trust me 15 weeks will fly bye. If the studying for you hasn't started consider yourself lucky! Instead of just laying outside in the sun, being on the lake with friends you will be gathered around a table with books open!

2. Late Wake Ups: For some reason in the middle of the semester 9 a.m. doesn't seem early but at the begging it is like a death trap! it is defiantly early to those of you that would sleep until 11 a.m. or even 1 p.m. Kiss those days goodbye!

3. Rush Hour: During the summer those of you that commute back and forth from school did not have to worry about rush hour and if you did have to you could at least plan your activities somewhat around it! Welcome back to scheduling in traffic time into your daily schedule.

4. The Weather: With fall comes a change of seasons. But the real change of season is winter. Some people hate winter and some love it. But I think we can all agree walking around campus in the snow is not something you want to do.

5. Home Cooked Meals: No matter if you live on campus or you commute your home cooked meals are definitely going to get cut down. Say hello to eating out, campus food or attempting to cook for yourself!

Happy back to school!
