Its that time of year again- fall semester. Starting fall semester is an enormous transition from summer. Your entire schedule changes and you have to get used to all the change in such short time. With all the excitement that comes along with the start of the new semester, there are still plenty of struggles. Here are some common struggles everyone encounters the first week of fall semester.

1. Remembering what your alarm sounds like

2. Getting out of bed for your first class (especially when it's an 8 am!)

3. Seeing your syllabus

4. When your professors give you tons of homework the first day

5. Trying to decide whether you should go out or not the first day

6. When you don't have any friends in your classes

7. Going to the dining hall for the first time eve

8. When every professor asks you to tell the class about yourself

9. Going out during syllabus week and waking up the next morning

10. Trying to continue your summer workout routine

11. Trying to start the semester with a normal sleeping schedule but ultimately failing and napping too often

12. Realize you have to do your own laundry again

13. Forgetting how to make new friends

14. When you remember how bad the taste of alcohol is

15. Realizing you are 110% done with the semester's work by the end of the first week

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break.

Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
