10 Signs that You are Ready to go Back to School
Red Alert Politics

With internships and summer jobs winding down, there are only mere weeks left before the school year begins. Unlike when we were in high school and we dreaded the first day of a new school year, most of us have been counting down the days until college move in since we moved out. Here are 10 signs that you are ready to go back to school.

1. You’ve started to treat your younger siblings like pledges because you can’t wait for recruitment to start. 

2. You started packing even though you don’t leave for another three weeks. 

3. Everyone in your group text is already planning the first-night-back pregame. Who is getting the chaser? Where are we pregaming? What frat do we want to go to first? 

4. You miss tailgating so much that you start making excuses to do it. Family barbecues, lunch with your friends or Grandma’s birthday. Nothing says Happy 80th Granny like shot-gunning a beer with her.

5. You fill up large Ziploc bags with expensive wine so you can slap the bag.

6. You chug your parents' Grey Goose from the bottle, pretend it’s the really cheap vodka you drink at school and chase it with a sugary orange soda, also straight from the bottle.

7. At the slightest sound of music, you immediately find the nearest elevated surface to dance on.  

8. You miss doing walks of shame (or strides of pride).

9. You really miss getting hyped for your school’s sports, so you go to your little siblings’ games dressed head-to-toe in their colors and scream at the 10-year-olds. 

10. You have already started to text last semester's hook up so you can lock down a guaranteed welcome-back-to-college hookup.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.
