7 Thoughts College Students Have Before Classes Start
NYU Local

Knowing that your fall semester starts in either a week or just a few short days, there are tons of thoughts running through your head. You think about all of the supplies you need, the textbooks you have yet to buy, and the schedules you have yet to look at. There is so much more that goes into the beginning of a new semester besides just showing up; however, you truly have no idea where you are going to find all this time to complete it all. As someone who starts classes this coming week, I have compiled a list of some of my most relatable thoughts I have had during these past few days of preparation.

1. Where are my textbooks?

Your classes casually start soon and you have no idea whether or not you actually have bought your textbooks. Keep in mind that these books range in prices from ten dollars to a hundred and you barely have any money to your name at the moment. You were totally waiting on your financial aid to come in clutch; therefore, it has came down to three day before classes start and you still have no books.

2. Where is my backpack?

You could have sworn that you kept your backpack in your closet over the summer so you would not lose it, but guess where it was...not in the closet! You have searched high and low for it and apparently it has grown legs and walked away. Looks like you will be carrying all of your stuff to class with no backpack, because you are five-thousand percent done with searching for it!

3. I hope I don't get lost finding my classes...

You are terrible with finding places so you automatically assume that you will get lost finding your classes. You might as well just prepare yourself for the embarrassment of walking into the wrong class.

4. Back to living the broke, college life.

I wonder how long it will take to memorize how much a large pizza with tax included costs? After buying a parking pass, textbooks, school supplies, and everything else, I have like thirty dollars to start the semester with, but hey that is fine...

5. When am I going to be able to take naps?

Alright, I do not play around when it comes to naps so, they need to planned out accordingly or bad things will happen. Yes, I write my naps into my planner...don't hate!

6. It is already time to go back?

Well, looks like summer is officially over which means goodbye to all the fun and sanity in my life. How is it even time to start back classes, it feels like I just came home last week?

7. LET'S DO THIS!

Alright, it is time to get down to business! I am going to go into this year and kick college's butt!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
