Thoughts And Feelings You Have About Going Back To School
Google

Going back to school is always the same: A feeling of excitement with just a little bit of disgust. Also, a lot of regrets about the way you spent your summer, especially if you spent it with your eyes glued to the TV binge-watching.

The feeling of excitement comes from finally getting to see your friends after months of being apart, but if they were your friends, wouldn't you have seen them anyway?

Disgust comes from realizing all the hard work and studying you have to jump back into the day you walk into your first class. The late night and early morning study sessions were not missed over the summer, and it'll definitely be tough getting back into the swing of things!

Also disgusting is finding out who "got together" over the summer. Even more disgusting is not being able to get the image out of your head.

Then you realize while you're so busy being disgusted by them, you almost forgot you were single the whole summer.

And you realize while they were going on cute, spontaneous dates to B-Dubs every weekend, you were in bed by 10.

But back to the feelings about actual school.

You remember all the great food you'll miss out on while you're away from home, and even worse, you realize what the replacement will be. Dining hall food is interesting, to say the least. After awhile, you actually start to like it a little.

While all of these things are enough to send someone packing and never wanting to return to school, there are some positive things to return to.

You have a reason to go shopping, because of course you need new things every semester. It's common sense.

The world gets better from shopping and so does life. Life also gets better when you're back to living alone. Well, not necessarily alone, but with super cool roomies! You get to redecorate and rearrange a living space that'll be just right for each of you.

With your own place, you get to come in or leave out at whatever time you want. That means those nights out for penny pitchers are back.

Last but not least, the most exciting thing I think we are all looking forward to is football season. Football season is the most fun time in college for many people, especially here in Louisiana. The experience of being in the crowd cheering on your team is exhilarating to say the least. If this isn't enough to make you wish you were back on campus right now, I only have on word for you:

Now let's all get back to studying and getting involved on campus, whether it be a new sport (not likely), a new hobby, a club, or sorority. Just remember grades come first because GPA is forever. Stay away from Raisin' Canes and Taco Bell, and even further away from weeknight kickbacks. Everything is all right in moderation, but you have to know when to say enough is enough.

With these last words, I'd just like to wish everyone well, and let's have a kick-ass semester!

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.

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.
