As the new school year slides right back into our laps; new adventures and challanges fall onto our plates. We have been doing this for a long time now, but it seemingly never gets old or dull.
1. Excitement
Be real with yourself, at the start of every semester you're excited to start new classes, get new books and school supplies. New chapters to un turn, and subjects to learn! How is that not exciting to a college student. Also you get to see you're roommate(s) and pick your room theme for this year! Also you get to see your best friends an sisters(brothers) again. Reunited and it feels so good!!
2. Looking at you're schedule
Even though you picked it way back in April, you go back and relook your schedule to see if you can make any adjustments and remind yourself of what you're taking. Not as early/late, maybe get into a class with you're best friend or a different class all together.
3. Realizing how much money you have to spend.
That moment when you open up you're book list, realize you have Dues and tuition to pay and loans to re sign up for and you spent all you're money on makeup, chipotle, and clothes that you earned this summer.
4. Realizing how much work you actually have to do.
You totally forgot to pay you're deposit and request you're beds to be lofted/bunked. You also forgot to sign up for a meal plan so you have to pay the late fee. You’re taking 4 out of 5 classes in you're major and you just wanna cry.
5. The pep talk you give yourself on the first day.
Something that probably goes along the lines of: Nothing is impossible, you have done this before (maybe even a lot of times before,) and you're going to get through this. Other people have passed Organic Chemistry/Calculus/ Business stats before so can you. Okay this class is in room 240 in the science building you have been there before, hopefully there are some cute boys/girls in this class.
6. When you see an unexpected homie in you're class.
This was not planned, but its really nice to see them in your class.
7. Professor Anxiety
The voice in the back of your head that tells you no matter how many reviews you read and people you asked, you still might hate you're professor and they still might suck. The possibility that they have complete restructured their classes from “open book tests, optional homework and final” to “5 exams 6 papers and you're final is 45% of you're grade.”
8. Realizing that you worried for nothing.
You're professors are all good, you're beds got lofted, you and you're roomie both want pastel green and grey as a color scheme (Emilie Mies.) You found cheeper books through Chegg and Amazon. Your sisters still love you, and its going to be a great semester as long as I don’t procrastinate this time!
I miss you Loyola can’t wait to be back!!
