Back To College

10 thoughts during my first week back

10 things I thought during my first week back to College:

PS...I rushed a sorority within my first weekend back and had syllabus week.

1. Where did my break go?

How did a month possibly go by so fast?! I barely saw my friends, I barely left my house, I barely saw my family...like wtf.

2. Shower shoes?!

I miss my shower and not having to run when the one good shower is open and lug my shower caddy down the hall.

3. I miss my room.

Not only do I miss my room and bed, I also miss not having to share my room (even if I do like my roomie).

4. I cannot socialize anymore.

Recruitment is all about talking and socializing. Honestly I think I talked to more people than I did all of my first semester.

5. Why am I so nervous?

I was nervous about classes. I was nervous about recruitment. I was nervous about bid night. I was worried about not being home anymore. I was thinking about the inauguration. I WAS JUST FRIKIN ANXIOUS OK.

6. HOW DO I ALREADY HAVE SO MANY READINGS?

It is syllabus week. I only had each class once so how the hell am I already so overwhelmed?

7. I need coffee.

I do not drink coffee and I have already thought about changing that twice this week.

8. Mom can you come visit?

I miss my mom already so much. I miss her food, her talking about cats, and really just everything about her. I want her to come visit me or I will just come see her...either works!

9. How has it only been a week? I feel like I have been here at least 2 months.

Is it time to go back home yet? Please?

10. Trump is President?


Great way to end my first week back....

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
