I am excited to go back to school. I get to see my friends and start new classes. The beginning of the year is a super exciting time. Although the beginning of the year is a lot of fun, some of the things we have to get done before going back to school are definitely not fun. As we all getting ready to head back college I thought I would remind you of some of them out!
1. Watching your money quickly disappear out of your bank account
You worked all summer but now it is time to go back to school. You go to the store thinking that you only need a few things for your brand new apartment or dorm room, but it turns out you need a lot more things than you thought you did. Then after that, you have to buy all your books for your classes for the semester. Next, you get your meal plan or buy groceries so you don't starve to death. Finally, you buy a whole boatload of other stuff you probably don't actually need. College is expensive, my friend.
2. Online modules
Many colleges have you complete safety and educational modules on important topics like sexual harassment. While these things take you some time, it is important to take them seriously.
3. Packing all your stuff up
After spring semester you packed up your stuff so you go study abroad in France, visit your family, or intern for a company. But congratulations, it is now is time to pack up all your stuff again!
4. Moving in
Yup, is it time for you to struggle dragging your mini refrigerator up 5 flights of stairs! Moving in is stressful and a lot of work. Hopefully, you can find some friends, family, or maybe even some friendly strangers to help you out. It is super tiring but at the end of the day, it is worth it when your place looks perfect!
5. Filling out paper work
There are so many forms. I cannot even tell you how many forms there are. But every form is important and your life will be a lot easier if you fill them out immediately.
6. Last minute class scheduling
Of course, most of us picked all of our classes in the spring, but sometimes our minds change or something else happens. Classes may be added that you like better, a class may be canceled, or you may be frantically waiting to get off the waitlist for a class you really need.
