- When your mom wakes you up an hour early because she doesn’t trust you to get up on your own even though you do when you're away at college.
- Blasting the music as loud as you possibly can in your car just to make sure you don’t fall asleep on your commute.
- Not being able to go to your favorite coffee shop because its back on your home campus, so you have to drink the gross black coffee they serve at the community college dining hall. (Where is Espresso Royale when you need it??)
- Knowing absolutely no one in your class, so you try to sit in the back and blend in so that you don't actually have to participate.
- Five seconds before class starts, a girl sits next to you and instantly wants to tell you her entire life story even when the teacher begins talking.
- Your professor being cranky ever day because she wants to be there just as much as you do, so she assigns tons of work and tests.
- Trying to plan out a way to not take this class and put it off til another year just so you can go back to bed.
- Almost crying when the professor says you can’t use your laptop at all during the class. (When are you supposed to do all your online shopping and insta stalking??)
- Having a 10 minute and not knowing whether or not to a.) plug your headphones in and watch Netflix, b.) sit on your phone and act like your texting someone super important, or c.) make awkward small talk with the strange people sitting around you. (There's obviously a lot of crying in summer school...)
- Watching the clock actually stop right in front of you when you have an hour left of class.
- Watching your friend’s Snapchat stories of them laying on a beach in Mexico or skydiving off the coast of Greece while you are stuck in this prison cell… aka class.
- Texting as inconspicuously as you possibly can underneath your desk while having horrible flash backs to high school.
- Seeing people you hated in high school in your class and actively trying to avoid all eye contact… actually, all contact in general.
- Silently dying inside when you don't know if you should raise your hand to go to the bathroom like in high school or just go 'cuz you're supposed to be in college.
- When you leave the classroom and almost jump out of your skin with excitement that it’s over, until you realize you have to come back again tomorrow… and the next day… and the next day….
