After a few weeks off from school it can be hard to get back into the swing of things. Getting yourself to the airport, dreading the return to classes, but excited to see your friends is enough of a struggle.

But there is also the looming fact that you only have a few days to mentally prepare yourself for another semester of classes. Luckily, you have done this once already in the past year and treating the beginning of this semester as if it were just the same as the last will make life that much easier.

Packing

When you go to pack your suitcase before heading back to school you always have ten times the amount of stuff you came home with. Now, you are stuck either having to compromise or bring an extra bag back to school.

Ordering New Books

New semester, new books, new tears. It seems like the textbook retailers are out to get you, even when you are as frugal as possible.

Mentally Preparing Yourself For The Semester

You tell yourself you will work your hardest. You claim you will do all the readings. You promise to pay attention in class. It doesn’t last. It never does.

Needing Additional Emotional Support

You just need someone to tell you that you can do it, you can make it through the first day.

One Day Of Classes In

You are already falling apart. Last semester was much easier to get in the swing of things. You are not yet ready to do school.

Finally Reaching The End Of The Week

You made it through the first week somewhat alive. You are back in the swing of things, but just need to reward yourself with a good brunch and good friends. It will be okay.
