Returning to your college campus for the spring semester means a lot of things. For starters, it means returning to the busy weekly schedule of a college student. There will be no more sleeping past noon (unless, of course, you’re fortunate enough to have a day off from morning classes.) It means returning to late night study sessions and three cups of coffee a day. It means drowning in essays and spending hours at the library.
But returning to school isn’t as negative as it may seem. In fact, in my opinion, the pros outweigh the cons. Being back on campus means reuniting with friends you haven’t seen since prior to break. It means hanging out with your roommates again 24/7. There will be no more complaining about being bored and having no one to hang out with. Rather, it means beginning to complain about not having any alone time.
With all of the mixture of emotions that comes with a new semester, I’ve devised a list of thoughts and complaints every college student can relate to:
“I haven’t set an alarm in over a month!”
“Do I really have to wake up at 8 am?”
“Do I really have to get out of bed right now?”
“Does missing the first day of class make a bad impression?”
“I mean it is only syllabus week.”
“Has the walk always been this long?”
“Have people always walked this slow?”
“Why are we starting chapter one of the first day of class?”
“I don’t even have my textbooks yet!”
“Why must textbooks be so expensive?”
“Can I pass an entire semester without them?”
“Probably not.”
“God, I am so broke.”
“But I really don’t want to walk to the dining hall for dinner.”
“I wonder if my roommates want to order Chinese food tonight.”
“I should have just walked to the dining hall.”
“How do I already have so much work to do… it’s only the first week!”
“I’m just going to watch one more episode before starting that essay.”
“How is it already midnight?!”
“I am going to hate myself for this in the morning.”
“I can’t wait to go out for the first time this semester!”
“It’ll be so great to see everyone again!”
“I love my school.”
Despite my constant complaining, college life is pretty amazing. I absolutely love it here!
