Thoughts all College Students Have Coming Back to College

It’s almost that time for college classes to be back into full swing and for all of the college kids to move back into their apartments or dorm rooms. Let’s be honest, college is great the first couple weeks… and the weekends aren’t that bad. Some college students will be happy to be back, and some not so much. But they will for sure agree with most of the things below, if not all of them.

Move in Day:

YAY! I get to see all of my friends and have a blast. I can’t wait to see everyone. I am going to make sure I wear a super cute outfit because I am going to take a hundred pictures. I just can’t wait to see everyone. I’ll unpack later.

Night Before Classes:

I have a book bag full of supplies, a binder for every class. I have a nice outfit for tomorrow to wear. I’m totally ready for this year.

Day One of Classes:

Well, at least it’s syllabus week! But this whole going to class thing is already getting old and it is day one. Well, it’s not that bad yet. And I get to see who is in all of my classes. Plus, did I mention it’s syllabus week... That means I can stay up all night talking and partying with my friends and have zero cares in the world right now.

Day Three of Classes:

Yeah, I’m over these classes… Can I skip already or is that frowned upon? The teacher may not have even noticed I was here the other day so she won’t really miss me if I don’t show up.

First Weekend Back:

PARTY. PARTY. PARTY. PARTY. PARTY. Late night fast food run. PARTY. PARTY. PARTY.

Sunday before Week Two of Classes:

What. Happened. To. The. Weekend? Also, what happened this weekend…?

Week Three of Classes:

I have completely given up all hope of making it through this semester. I have one pencil left for the whole semester. I have all 5 pairs of sweatpants for the week laid out. I have zero ambition to do any work. My cell phone battery is always at like 40% I swear. I spent all the money I saved over summer so I am going to eat one piece of popcorn everyday till the end of the semester. I’m over it. So over it and I have like 3.5 months left… I’m dropping out.

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.

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.
