Nobody truly wishes for the carefree, long-night, warm and sunny days of summer to come to an end faster than it already happens. However, if you love college like I do, going back to school is actually pretty awesome, too.
Pro: You start to fill your days with lots of activities again.
Con: After the initial syllabus week, stress starts to set in, and it doesn't go away until the end of the semester.
Pro: You get to hang out with your group of school friends again.
Con: That means leaving your family (who, yes, you will miss), friends from home, and possibly a pet.
Pro: You get to return to your second home.
Con: While simultaneously leaving your mother's good cooking.
Pro: You get to learn more things, and you're one step closer to graduation!
Con: You swear first semester of freshman year was two seconds ago. Time is moving way too fast.
Pro: The weather is starting to change into fall.
Con: Then immediately into winter where you will freeze for about four months getting to and from your classes.
Pro: You're back to being independent!
Con: Which can mean doing some frightening, grown-up things like being low on sleep, close to emotional breakdowns on a frequent basis, and having to keep track of all your responsibilities.
Whatever your feelings towards it, another semester is upon us; let's try to make it great!
