I can't be the only one...

So don't get me wrong, I love a good break from classes but things do start to get boring by week two. I'm in desperate need of getting my college life back together before I lose my mind... And here's why.

1. I need to get back into a set routine

I'm the kind of person who enjoys having a set schedule for my everyday life so when I get thrown off of my routine... It stresses me out, to say the least.

2. I miss my college friends 

It sucks not seeing people you love to be around! Especially when you're used to being just down the hall from them.

3. Living at home is... a little stressful

I love my family so much but once you move out, going back tends to be stressful.

4. Low-key excited for the classes I'm taking this semester 

I love what I'm studying so classes are actually pretty fun and I get excited knowing I'm learning things that will help me in my career.

5. My relaxation has turned into boredom 

Being lazy and not having anything to do is nice at first until it turns into complete boredom and you're actually tired of sleeping and not having any plans.

6. I can start using my Dining Dollars again 

Broke college kids life saver. That is all.

7. I need to see my roommate

I miss my roommate so much. I always look forward to seeing her and talking about random things/ just feeling at home with her there... In need of a reunion.

8. I miss walking to class everyday 

Walking to class is almost therapeutic. You never know what you will see or overhear from other people around you. Also, I'm very much slacking on my daily step goal so this is something I need to catch up on.

9. I'm so close to graduating 

This is a love/ hate situation. I'm ready to graduate but at the same time I'm not so I want to spend as much time here while I can. (On the other hand, the sooner I get it over with, the sooner I graduate.)

10. I miss eating food at my sorority house 

We have breakfast, lunch and dinner... This one is also a love/ hate relationship.

11. I miss being in the comfort of my bedroom 

I love my room at home but because I can't bring all of my belongings with me, I always feel like I'm missing something. There is just something about my bedroom at college that is so peaceful and homey.

12. Independence 

Although my parents aren't strict on me, there is still a certain level of independence that feels taken away when you are at home. I love my parents but I enjoy doing things on my own so I'm ready to get my groove back.

Call me crazy but college has a lot of missable qualities and I cannot wait to be back.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
