How We All Really Feel About Going Back To School
FastCoexist.com

We all stress over little things when going back to school. These are just a few of the main ones that come to my mind when I think about it. Sometimes it's hard to get back in the swing of things because most of us like the overthink the situation. But we all know it'll work out in the end as long as we push through. Hope you enjoy!

1. Why do I have to pay so much for books that I will never use again?

Honestly, why do the books cost so much when tuition is already outrageous?

2. I should probably find a job..

Since most of us get full time summer jobs, we won't have a job when we head back to campus full time. So the job hunt begins all over again if we have any hope of eating something off campus.

3. Should I wear my pajamas or jeans to class?

It's hard to get back into the swing of things, even if you were

Should I wear my pajamas or jeans to class?

working all summer. Waking up and actually getting ready seems useless when you're just going to sit in a classroom for a few hours.

4. I have class at 10, when I get back, I'm taking a nap.

Between stressing about the daily things then adding on how much classes stress us out, we all need a little nap here and there just to keep us on track.

5. Stop asking me if I'm ready for school to start back up.

In all reality we're just ready to graduate. School is great and all but jobs that pay more than $7 an hour are so much better.

6. Of course we will miss home when we head back to school.

Although we often complain about our home towns and cannot wait for school to start back; we appreciate our small town so much more once we have the chance to miss it.

7. We just have to keep reminding ourselves that it will all be worth it in the end and it won't be too much longer before we embark on a new chapter in our lives.

Don't get me wrong. I love college, I love going to school and learning in general. I love the professors and life long friends that I am making along the way, but I've been in school what seems like my whole life. And I am so excited for the chance to do something different.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
