There are so many mixed emotions about going back to school for many reasons. You are thrilled to see your friends and be with them after months of being apart but then you think about all the homework and stress that comes along with going back to school. Yet, during the first week of school you go through a cycle of events that go a little something like this...
1. When you arrive on campus all bright eyed and excited for the new year because I mean new year new me right??
2. However, you start moving in with all the heavy packages and it's probably the worst experience of your life and you just want to sit down and die.
3. Then you finally get all finished unpacking, your room is all clean and you and your friends finally get to reunite and pick up right where you left off the year prior.
3. Walking onto campus like a boss because you are no longer a freshman anymore...THANK GOD.
4. Except the worst part is when you wake up for the first day of classes and you are still not ready to get back into the grind.
5. But then you think oh well I'm sure we are only going over the syllabus and my professors will let class out early...we definitely won't go over any homework. Yet, per usual you are COMPLETELY wrong and you get through a whole chapter in one class, and already have so much homework to do. So your brain is completely fried and it isn't even 12pm yet.
6. You know you have to go to the library but you still refuse to go because how can you possibly already have mountains upon mountains of homework to do within the first few days of classes. But you absolutely HAVE to go to the library...there is simply no escaping it.
7. You call your parents because you already miss them dearly and also have to vent to them about all the work you have.
The first week of school is a Rollercoaster of emotions because you are so excited to go back to school but you are not prepared for the amount of work that is about to slap you in the face. However, the first week is the worst week because you are transitioning from long, relaxing beach days to hot, humid days stuck in a classroom rushing to make sure you are getting all the notes from your professors. So truthfully, if you get through the first week of school, you are all set to go for the rest of the year.
