Returning To College As Told By It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
Seneca Scratching Post

The time has finally come - summer is coming to an end and it's time to get ready to go back to college. You've been counting down the days and the anticipation is nearly killing you. All you want is to be back on campus with all your friends, but here is what you can expect when you make your return:

Moving everything back into your cramped living space


No matter how much you try to only bring the essentials, you know you're going to bring too much. It's impossible to fit everything into your room, let alone your car.

Reuniting with all of your friends


You've been waiting months to see your college friends again, unless you'd been blessed enough to have visits. You just can't wait to get the gang back together to do everything from napping to partying.

Trying to make more friends

Even though you have a solid group of friends, every year, it seems like a great idea to expand your horizons and meet new people to interact with.

Having to deal with more icebreakers in class


It's time to start preparing more fun facts about yourself or "two truths and a lie."

Living on a tight budget again


Now that you're away from home, it's a lot harder to ask for $20 here - and - there from your parents. Get ready to figure out the difference between things you need and things you want.

Watching your hard-earned money being spent on overpriced books

It's ridiculous to spend an extra $100 or so to buy the new edition of a textbook that is probably only different from the older editions by a few different words and pictures, yet you know your professor will require it.

No longer eating homemade food

Say hello to ramen, pizza, and take-out again! You're on your own again and dinner won't be ready for you every night anymore.

Returning to the party scene

You can't wait to party the night away in a random, sweaty basement filled with strangers.

Instagramming all of your nights out


Obviously, you need the best pictures to uphold your self-proclaimed title of social media king/queen and to let all of your followers know that you're back in action at college.

Caring about your appearance again

Whether your school is in the city or in the middle of nowhere, you can't just throw on a bathing suit and go to the beach or the pool. You may not care too much about what you wear to class, but when going out, you definitely want to dress to impress.

Ignoring your first week's work load to party

It's still summer in your mind and there's no way you can even think about schoolwork. You just got back and all you want to do is spend time with your friends and relax.

Dusting off the cobwebs in your brain


Unless you had a rigorous summer job, you most likely weren't preparing for tests and writing essays. It's time to rejuvenate your mind.

Recovering from syllabus week

You spent every day partying but now it's time to pull yourself back together and bring yourself back to life.

Attempting to get all of your procrastinated work finished

Now that syllabus week is over, you realize that the readings and papers assigned are real and must be completed, despite your valiant efforts to ignore all possible work.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
