Signs you are ready to go back to school

Summer can't last forever.

Signs you are ready to go back to school

All of us look forward to summer and the rest time that it brings. But after a while you become ready to get back to school. Perhaps out of boredom, or perhaps because you miss your friends. Regardless of our reason, there are several things that those of us who are ready for the semester to begin have in common.


1. Feeling like you've been doing the same thing all summer long.


Even our favorite activities can get boring after a while. On campus, there is usually always something going on, and that is not the case while you're at home. As much as I love to read books and watch Netflix, something that is a bit more active would be a welcome change.


2. You actually miss the food on campus.


This may sound a bit strange to some, but the food is actually one of the things I'm looking forward to when I get back. While the food at home is most definitely tastier, there's something to be said about having choices on what you want to eat. Plus, at college, no one is going to judge you for eating pasta for lunch and dinner, or ordering pizza late at night.


3. You resent not having everything in walking distance.


Being able to take a short walk to get those pizza rolls I've been craving all day is something that I definitely took for granted. Now I have to wait to get a ride If I want to go anywhere.


4. Actually looking forward to your classes.


Being a History major means that I will definitely have a lot of writing to do this fall. Do I find this a bit intimidating? Yes. Does that stop me from being excited to take a class about medieval Europe? Absolutely not. Those three History classes I am taking are going to be a challenge, I realize that. But I also can't wait to get all of that neat information.


5. Little things are annoying you more.


This is one of those things that just seems to go along with wanting a change in pace. It happens when I'm ready for school to end, so it makes sense that it would happen when I'm ready for school to begin.


6. You miss having your friends around all the time.


This is especially true for those of us who are more introverted. Even though I am a girl who definitely needs my privacy, I am excited to be surrounded by my friends again.



The summer is coming to a close, and while some people are dreading the beginning of fall semester, I am happy that I have some things to look forward to.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
