Thoughts College Students Have When Break is Over

When school is about to be back in session, or perhaps it has already started for you, a few thoughts go through our minds. Everything from panic, excitment, to pure nervousness- college providdes us with all of these things, sometimes at different times or all at once.

"Do I need all of these books?"

"How long can I get away with not buying these books?"

"If I wait too long to buy books, I'm going to have to give in a spend too much money at the bookstore."

"If there's 25 people in my class, will my professorreally notice if I'm not there?"

"Where is the best place to sit if I plan on napping a little?"


"I wonder if 'insert name here' missed me over break?"

"I definietly didn't miss him/her."


"Syllabus week is also the week where I replace classes I find too hard."

"Let's hope none of the classes I drop are major requirements."

"Should I have a minor at this point?"

"Should I know what I want to do with my degree?"

"What even is my degree again?"


"I wonder how much I'm paying for one class."

"I'm going to do the math."

"Just kidding, I really don't want to cry so early on in the semester."

"Speaking of money, how much have I spent on my higher education already?"

"Ya, I need to change the topic."


"I better see lots of dogs on campus."

"I love dogs."

"How long can I go wearing the same pair of yoga pants?"

"I wonder if anyone can tell I didn't shower today."

"I'm not wearing real clothes this semester."

"Unless I go out. Then I'm borrowing real clothes from friends."


"I should've worked more over break."

"Why did break go by so fast?"

"How will I manage work and school AND play??"

"I've done it before, I can do it again."

"Or can I??"



"I am calm, cool, and collective."

"I am definitely not calm, but I am a good pretender."

"I shall survive this."

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.
