11 Reasons Why I'm Excited About Going Back To John Carroll

Summer break is almost ending and that means that school is lurking around the corner. In high school the idea of summer ending equaled all the fun ending too. This year, however, I find myself getting excited when I think about returning to college. The difference I noticed is that when I thought back about high school I was always thinking about the classes I was taking, when I think about college I think about the life I have build there. That's why I have 11 reasons why I am excited about going back to my college, John Carroll University.

1. Being reunited with the squad

I'm not going to lie, this is the main reason I want to return to campus. I have so much to share with all of my friends and they with me. I tried to stay in contact with some of them over the summers, but I wouldn't call those attempts rather successful.

2. Dinners in the caf

Okay just to be clear, I don't miss caf food, I miss my dinners there. The difference? Let's just say that the food isn't high quality, but the conversations are. It's the best time to catch up with your friends and unapologetically stare at my fellow collegiates.

3. Einstein's bagels

I've tried bagels at home, but it's just not the same. I miss you, Einstein's, with your long lines and all.

4. Warrensville

I regret going all the time, but I keep going every single weekend.

5. B-side

To you I say the same as I said to Warrensville.

6. Fitness classes

Nothing beats attending Zumba with your friends.

7. Wasting all my dining dollars way too soon

I already know that the tween and Starbucks are waiting to take all my dining dollars.

8. Hanging out on the quad

No explanation necessary.

9. Late night conversations with the roommate

This is when the truth comes out.

10. Making new friends

No matter where or how you meet them, new friends are always welcome.

11. The atmosphere

The small campus where everyone knows everyone, which is a blessing and a curse all the same. The beautiful buildings without clocks and hot water, but crosses galore. It's John Carroll, y'all.

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 donā€™t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldnā€™t be that long.
