Wikepedia

I love college. I am also blessed with an awesome family that makes going back to school hard. My parents house is way cleaner than the dorms, my bed at home is way more comfortable, I get home-cooked meals, and my mom does my laundry. Oh, and I get to be home and see my parents. These are all things that I love about being home. But feeling like I am exactly where I am supposed to be while I'm at school is an awesome feeling. Here are 10 reasons why I am ready to go back to college.

1. I miss my friends.

A lot of my friends are from another state or are hours away in my home state. This doesn't make it easy to see them in the summer and it's sometimes hard to see the ones that are close with us being working adults now. I miss them and I can't wait to see them and hear all about their summer and stay up all hours of the night having fun.

2. I like learning. I like the classes I take.

The classes I am taking are my choice and will help me with my future career. They are interesting and I learn so much in them, which is fun to me. I also like a good challenge, and most of the time college classes provide plenty of them.

3. Experiencing new things.

You never know what is gonna happen on campus or with your friends. Experiencing new things and learning about people and the world is fun.

4. Community.

The community at my school is amazing. The school cares about the students, the professors care about the students, and the students care about other students. Community is important in life, and I am so thankful for the quality of the community at my school.

5. I'm always busy there.

I like being busy. I like having stuff to do. It makes me feel accomplished and good when I can cross something off of a to-do list. I'm busy during the summer to, but it's just a different kind of busy at school.

6. I have a routine.

I function better when I have a set schedule. I like having my routine with classes and meal times and work.

7. Campus worship.

I go to a Christian university that has campus worship every Wednesday. And let me tell you, it's awesome. It's the best part of Wednesday's.

8. School events.

Dances, sporting events, musical events, festivals, plays, and interesting speakers are just a few.

9. Campus food.

During the school year I complained about having to eat school food all the time, but now I miss it.

10. I love my school.

I'm so glad that I have the opportunity to attend college. Being able to go to get my degree while having fun at my school is a true blessing.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
