13 Disney Songs That Perfectly Describe Going Back To School

"When life gets rough, I like to hold on to my dream of relaxing in the summer sun, just lettin' off steam." We agree, Olaf, but it's August and that means reeling in the summer fun and cashing it in for textbooks and long, studious days and nights. Have no fear, though, because Disney has tunes for every occasion, and these hand-picked bops are perfect for getting back in the groove of school.

1. "In Summer" (Frozen)

Let's be honest here and admit that Olaf was living the picture perfect summer. No work. All relaxation. In his head, at least.

2. "Bring Honor to Us All" (Mulan)

I can't be the only one that imagines their family singing this to them at the beginning of the year.

3. "Be Our Guest" (Beauty and the Beast)

You're finally ridding yourself of the end-of-summer blues, and you're greeted with this from your school!

4. "Hakuna Matata" (The Lion King)

Possibly the best part going back to school is being reunited with your friends, and this song captures that essence perfectly.

5. "Bare Necessities" (The Jungle Book)

There's nothing like starting the new school year with, well, the bare necessities. Or is that just me?

6. "Whistle While You Work" (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs)

Syllabus week comes and goes and BAM! You find yourself swamped with work. But what better to pass the time than a little live entertainment?

7. "Poor Unfortunate Souls" (The Little Mermaid)

Every professor's favorite song as they assign their classes endless homework.

8. "Reflection" (Mulan)

Am I in the right major? Is there more I could be doing? We all turn inside and reflect at some point during the semester.

9. "In a World of My Own" (Alice in Wonderland)

If you're anything like me, you sometimes end up in your own world when you're stressed. And that's okay.

10. "For the First Time in Forever" (Frozen)

For the first time in forever, you're finally getting adjusted to a set schedule! (RIP summer, you will be missed.)

11. "Go The Distance" (Hercules)

"This is it!!! I'm going to rock this semester!" I tell myself as I rely on Hercules for motivation.

12. "Almost There" (Princess and the Frog)

The title says it all (as does the gif). Hard work pays off, and if there's anything students are good at, it's persevering (even if it means crashing once you're done).

13. "A Whole New World" (Aladdin)

Okay, so I know this is supposed to be a love song, but the title alone granted it its position on this list. It's literally a whole new world once you're accustomed to your new schedule, professors, and course load.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
