The Struggles Of The New Semester As Told By New Girl

It's that time. Time to get off the couch, turn off Netflix and start hitting the books again. The holidays are over and all your friends are back spread across the country. It's still cold a there's probably snow on the ground even though it's supposed to be the "spring" semester. What sense does that make? At least every college student across this country gets to feel all these crappy feelings together.

There's still 5 months until the summer, AKA warmth

It's called "spring semester" for a reason.

You have to find time to finish that Netflix series you started over break

I started with the intentions of finishing... i will find time in my busy schedule.

When your professor assigns four chapters to read before the first day of class

Just...why.

You can no longer sleep until noon and avoid all responsibility

Well, you could.. but it probably wouldn't go over well

All the money you made over winter break is now gone due to the overpriced textbooks you'll use once

$300 dollars for a 20 page book? No problem, here take all my money.

Home cooked meals are no longer an option

My cooking might be okay, but nothing like my mothers. Plus, i don't have to put in any effort when she does it.

Pretending to be excited to see people you really don't care to see

"Oh my god! How are you? I missed you so much!" I didn't though...

"Please tell us your name, your major and one fun fact about yourself"

Every. single. time.

The decision between going out with friends or sleeping

Going out and getting drunk with my friends sounds like a blast, but my bed is also my best friend.


Overall, no one really enjoys the beginning of the new semester, but we all know we're happy to be back at the same time in some weird, twisted way.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
