It's that time of year again; school is back in order, classes are beginning again, and routines are starting again.
Here are a few reasons why I'm already over fall semester:
1. Waking up early
Let's be real, if you like waking up early, you're part of that 1% of the world. The rest of us need an incorporation of both coffee and pop-tarts to properly wake up in the morning. Personally, I need a sign that says 'don't talk to me until this coffee is gone'.
2. Homework is back
Homework; the unnecessary extra work that is put along with being in class for over an hour. You either get too much of it or none of it, making you either extremely busy or super bored. There is no in between.
3. Stress levels are going to be a constant rise
We all know that as classes continue to get harder, your stress levels continue to rise. Not only this, but higher stress levels lead to nature's mean joke called zits.
4. The food sucks
Now, I don't know about your school's cafeteria, but to many they seem to only have delicious (maybe even edible) food when there are visitors. The other days are spent testing through trial and repeat to find the food that doesn't tear up your stomach.
5. Seeing 'those people' again
You know 'those people'. The ones that you could do without seeing, the ones that may get on your very last nerve. I've had those people that argue with other students in class for the sake of arguing, those people who like to yell in small spaces around campus, and most of all, those people that just rub you the wrong way.
6. Tests are a'coming
There is nowhere you can hide where tests won't find you. Just be praying that you'll have merciful professors. (PSA - the ones that have tenure are normally harder...)
7. Working out
Remember all those new work out clothes you bought before coming back to school? The promises you've made to yourself about actually using the school gym? The ones that probably won't come true?
8. Buying your own toilet paper
I cannot stress this enough. Buying your own toilet paper is like essentially infiltrating your childhood. When you start buying your own toilet paper, you are officially considered by society as an adult (aka the scariest thing in the world).
9. Hour long classes = Seemingly endless lectures
Not to mention even longer labs. I got lucky enough this year to have a class/lab combination that's three. hours. long.
10. Zits
Zits are something you can't hide from, somewhat like the tests. Zits come from stress, and you're surely going to be stressing this semester. It's inevitable.
11. You're broke
This is one of the worst ones. You went home for the summer, where you had free food, free gas, whatever your parents wanted to spoil you with. Then bam, you're back at school where you literally have $3 in your bank account and can't afford a burrito from Taco Bell from down the road.
12. Summer's gone
The summer vacations, Netflix binges on weekdays, and the overall 'taking it easy attitude' will be no more. You're back at school now, but most importantly, your back with your little family of friends. Make the most of it and have an awesome year!
