12 Reasons Why I Am Excited To Go Back To College

www.niagara.edu

I absolutely love college with all of my heart. Don’t get me wrong. I love summer, too. Time off from school is great, but there comes a time for me when I know I’m ready to go back. I love to learn about things that I am interested in. So, the weeks leading up to my first day of classes for the Fall 2016 semester could not go by faster!

1. Your friends Are Close By

This is definitely something I am looking forward to. When your friends live all over the country, it’s hard to try and visit them all or see them all when you yourself are working or are busy doing other things. I am so excited to be reunited with my amazing friends when I go back to school.

2. New Classes

New classes, new material, more learning! And on the bright side, you get to take classes that you actually want to take!

3. Syllabus Week

A week full of activities, free stuff, club fairs, bonding, no homework and pure fun! No worries this week!

4. Free Things

When can you go wrong with free things? I mean I’m always up for free anything!

5. New School Supplies And Materials

I don’t know about you, but I always love buying new school supplies. It makes me so excited for the semester to come. New materials, fresh new start!

6. Free Gym Access

Thank you for the free gym membership!

7. There Is Always Something Going On

There is never a dull moment in college!

8. Making New Friends

New friends are always good! It’s always nice to meet new people!

9. Clubs And Extracurricular Activities

A great way to meet people in college is to join clubs, and they are so much fun to be a part of!

10. New Adventures And New Memories

Everyone tells us that college is going to be the best four years of our lives. Experience all you can and go on adventures that you will never forget! Make sure you make the most out of your college experience.

11. College Sports

There is no better feeling than screaming for your school to win in a sports game, especially against your rivals!

12. This Could Be Your Last Year Of College

Seniors, make this year the best yet! You deserve an amazing year full of great memories that you will cherish forever.

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.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

University of Vermont

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.
