As the final month of summer approaches, college students everywhere are dreading the start of homework and worse, the costs of textbooks for a new semester. However, if you chose the right school, then you also feel excited for the summer heat to begin to dissipate because the change in temperature means; it's time for your return to campus. Here are a few signs that prove you have chosen the right school.

1. The worst part about summer is being so far from your college friends

There's nothing like living down the hall from all of your friends. Or even in the same room for that matter. Summer time shows us how much our friends at school really mean to us when we can't see them every day.

2. You refer to your college friends as your second family

Your friends at school have seen you at your worst and your best... and they still choose to claim you as their own.

3. You think your campus is beautiful

You're not afraid to brag about your campus to your high school friends and family. You may also have a couple panoramic pictures saved on your phone just to prove to them how awesome your campus really is.

4. You're involved

You chose to get involved not just for the extra resume boost, but for the friendships you've made and the changes you are able to make on the campus you're proud to be apart of. You are involved in so many campus clubs and organizations that you put these activities above other priorities like, say, sleep.

5. You have a friendship with your professors

You have professors that you stop by during their office hours just to say 'Hi' and these are the professors that will have an impact on the rest of your life.

6. You love your degree program

You often refer to your degree as the best major on campus. You may even think some of the classes are kind of... interesting. No shame.

P.S. (COMM STUDIES FOR LIFE!!!).

7. You wear your school's gear with pride

There's nothing like that baggy grey sweatshirt you bought your freshman year from the bookstore. Especially when you wear it at least twice a week...

8. You've referred to campus as your 'home' when you were already 'home' with your parents

It may have been a little awkward when you told your parents you were ready to go 'home' (meaning back to school) for the first time, but deep down they are happy that you have chosen a place you want to call your own.

9. You understand what your parent's meant when they said "these will be the best years of your life"

If you chosen the right school, no amount of homework or stress could compare to how happy you are when you do get through those first rounds of mid-terms and you have a couple minutes to forget about your responsibilites and hang out with your firends.

10. You're excited to graduate, but not excited to leave your campus community behind

As my senior year approaches, I am a bit sentimental about these next two semesters being my last. I have loved every moment of college and I am so thankful that I chose the perfect school for me.
