30 Thoughts You Have About Moving Back to School

As the summer draws to a close, students all over the country are beginning to pack up and ship off to college. While leaving the comfort of home can be challenging, knowing that you’re moving away for college, (which is known to be some of the best years of your life) makes it a little easier to leave. Whether you’re an incoming freshman or a fifth year senior, the thoughts leading up to move-in day always tend to be the same.

1. I seriously can not contain my excitment over going back to school

Please get me out of this boring suburb and back to college where I belong.

2. Ugh, but there's so much to pack

3. How is this all going to fit in the car?

4. Should I pack all of my crop tops?

Yes. The answer is ALWAYS yes to crop tops.

5. Oh no, I am SO not ready for summer to end though

6. Who am I kidding it's collge how could I not be ready to back?

7. Should I look cute on move-in day or just wear sweats?

lol who am I? Sweats for the win!

8. Ew, cafeteria food again.

9. It's probably won't be as bad as I remember right?

Wrong. So, so wrong.

10. We better be going out when I get there

11. At last, no more curfew!

Im FREEEEEE!

12. Now that I'll be drinking beer everyweekend does this mean I have to start working out?

13. I don't think I've ever stepped foot in the gym

14. Do we even have a gym?

15. Why are my books costing me more than tuition?

16. I think I might actually use them this year

Haha, funny joke!

17. No I swear- I'll use them to study for the final or something...

18. Syllabus week is about to be LIT

Ew, why am I still saying lit?

19. If my professors make me do work on the first day I'm getting up and leaving

20. It's okay to skip the first class right?

Yeah- TOTALLY okay.

21. Ugh, I am really not feeling sharing my room

22. But if you think about it, technically it's like a sleepover everynight with your BFF's

Did someone say slumber party?

23. But if my roommate thinks I'm cleaning up after her she is batsh** crazy

24. The greatest day of the year is here, move-in day!!

Actually move-in is probably one of the worst days of the year.

25. Let the road trip begin

26. God why is there so much traffic?

27. People are so STUPID when they drive.

28. Ah, here at last

29. see's roommate intense high pitched screaming

30. It's going to be a good year

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

National Writers Society

NBC Universal

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.
