Preparing To Go Back To School After The Summer

As the Summer is quickly coming to an end, college students are trying to get used to the idea that school is starting back very soon. This is where you're stuck in the middle of being so incredibly done with your hometown, but no quite ready to get back into reality. So here are the 10 stages that you feel when you realize that Summer is coming to an end.


1. Denial

Summer isn't really coming to an end is it?


2. Realization

Where did all the time go? You've not done half of the things you had planned to do- and now it's too late to do anything.


3. Organizing

Trying to find everything you've lost over the break and getting things ready to be packed up.

4. Despair

You haven't spoken to anyone from school for weeks now, you remember all the hard classes you signed up for and you suddenly realize how much of a struggle this is actually going to be.


5. Hope

Maybe there will be some freak weather that will postpone school from starting for a few extra weeks?


6. Expectation

You try to think positive about this upcoming semester, and have high expectations. Just keep telling yourself that everything is going to be just fine.


7. Procrastinating

You have many things to do to get ready for school but instead you kick back and relax because you can do that important stuff later.


8. Panic

Okay, you procrastinated too long and now you're screwed.


9. Pulling yourself together

You have no more time and you have to start getting your things together.


10. Acceptance

This is happening and school is starting no matter what. You've just got to accept it and keep going. Actually, if you admit it you've been suffering a bit of cabin fever and it's going to be good to get out again and see everyone.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
