With the fall semester approaching, Summer'16 has just about come to an end. This week entails the lasts of summer which means attending the last parties, meeting up with friends from home, finally the last week of work,and the last of just about everything before your mind is clouded with the loads of work receive syllabus week. While its unfortunate that school is starting, nothing is more exciting than finally having the freedom you're used to. Sure parties will be replaced with classes and all-nighters Netflix binging will turn into all-nighters of doing papers but its worth it right? Here are 4 signs you're beyond ready for fall semester.

You've already packed all your clothes


Some might say you're super organized you're just saying you're ready to get out of your house, packing is the most gruesome task of going back to school. You either over pack or under pack and you're never sure what to bring, my answer: bring everything. All of your clothes are packed into little suitcases, the mini fridge is unplugged and everything is at the door waiting to be situated into the car on Sunday. If it was up to you they'd already be packed in the car, anything to get you to back to school as fast as possible.

You have a countdown

When summer started we all had this internal clock that would remind you "oh it's June, schools in three months" but as soon as August hit the count down was more of a 20 days, 15 days, and now you sit at home in your room with a countdown on your phone that says "fall '16 in four days 10 hours and 42 seconds". Its not like you're counting down until classes, you're counting down to your roommate, friends, parties and all of the college things that don't actually include classes.

You went shopping for school supplies

As a college student back to school shopping isn't as fun as it was in high school, back then you'd get all the cool notebooks and pens to show off for the new semester. I used to buy gel pens every semester and color coordinate my notebooks with my folders and get a new bag every year. Now it's all about books for your major and money you throw to the bookstore or Cheggs. That hasn't stopped you, you already have all your textbooks for the semester in tow as well as all the studying apps and flash cards you're going to need this semester.

You made plans for the upcoming semester before it even started


You've already texted your friends and decided when you're going out to party, whose going to the homecoming events, if you're planning on joining any clubs this year and so on so forth, you just can't wait for the semester to begin so you can get back to being in the full swing of things again.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
