20 Thoughts We All Have Before A New College Semester

1. No more comfortable showers. Yes, just forget it.

2. A list of Do's and Don'ts for the new semester that goes completely disregarded with the first party of the semester coming around.

3. Long nights at the library then going outside after 12 to realize that Mother Nature decided to give you a walk of shame. Yes, shame that you didn't wear more layers of clothes when it's freezing after midnight.

4. Freaking out about deadlines and asking for an extension at the last minute. The answer will most probably be no, so don't bother a lot.

5. Shopping for new clothes for formals, because no matter how much you said you'd do it during break, you still didn't.

6. Writing endless cover letters for internships you know you won't get but you just have to make an appearance at career services.

7. DINING HALL FOOD. Enough said. No matter how it can be really good sometimes or really suck, it still doesn't compare to your mom's.

8. If you're an international student, get ready to code switch and enter into your American mode. It should be easy if you've done it before.

9. Fill endless applications for volunteering, community service work or getting a position on campus, then regretting all of it after you get in.

10. Kick ass of the hard classes at the beginning of the semester, give in halfway only to go stronger as finals approach. It's human nature I guess.

11. You're doing your own laundry again. That's it. Nothing to complain about more. It's the damn laundry!

12. Unless you have an awesome roommate that you really miss already (like i do so i'm good for this one), get your nerves all prepared and set to deal with the roomie for one more semester.

13. Saturday night 8 p.m.: Naah I'm not going out. I have a lot of work to do this weekend. You can go have fun without me.

Saturday night 11 p.m.: Wait, are you kidding me?! Are you actually going without me? I'm totally tagging along.

14. Extra credit talks!!! If it's boring, I'm not paying attention anyway. Stop trying. I'm not interested in the history of wrestling and its effects on the I don't know what economy.

15. Community meetings. Sitting in the lounge with people you've never seen before to discuss who threw up in the sink the previous weekend. Ehhh...what about acting responsibly in the first place?

16. If it's a CCS class, you have to get an A. You have to get an A. Gets a B on a paper, freaks out and thinks about dropping out.

17. You'll get an incredible amount of emails daily for events you know exist because guess what, they've already sent the exact email about the same events before.

18. Meeting with your advisor just to vent and let him/her know that you can't give up. It's a future we're talking about here!

19. Going to the gym whenever possible just to decrease the feeling of guilt a little bit. Anything counts, you know.

20. Finally, get ready to make more memories...way more. Only post about the ones you like. Don't worry about the memories you don't like, you have the whole summer to erase them away.

Good luck and let's start strong.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
