Fall semester is right around the corner. Whether your summer involved being home, camp, a trip abroad, or an internship, we are all leaving something behind. It is hard to have such a routine for nearly three months and adjust to going back to school. But, once we leave our summer behind, we have the promise of a new school year to look forward to. Here are 10 thoughts we all have before going back up to school.

1. OMG how am I expected to do school work.

You have had a long break from a full semester of classes. It will definitely be an adjustment.

2. I'm leaving my parents again.

This thought brings mixed emotions. On one hand, you are so excited to have your freedom back. On the other hand, you know you will really miss your parents and all that they do for you.

3. Ugh, how am I ever going to leave?!

Whether you are coming from camp, a trip abroad, or wherever you spent your summer, you can't imagine leaving right now. This place has grown so comfortable for so long.

4. Tailgate season is so soon.

You have been waiting all year for this.

5. How am I going to go out?!

Going out at school takes a lot of energy. It is crazy and sweaty, and you don't know how your body will be able to handle it.

6. I'm not ready for real life.

The end of a summer marks that you are that much closer to real life. Approaching another year of school means that you have to start figuring out what your plan is.

7. New year, new me.

Before every school year starts, we all have an idea of who we want to be heading into the new year. There are always aspirations of working out, eating clean, or developing better study habits. Hopefully, we can actually follow through with these ideas this year.

8. Do I have to meet new people?

A new school year brings new people, whether they join your sorority or you have a class with them. It is time to practice your social skills and put yourself out there.

9. Okay, here we go.

Going back to school is inevitable, and you prepare the best way you can. Just make the best out of it and enjoy the year!

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
