48 Thoughts You Have Before Going Back To College

As the summer slowly fades away and going back to school is right around the corner, us college students remember that being mentally prepared is just as hectic as being physically prepared. Here are 48 thoughts you have before going back to college:

1. Where did my summer go?

2. Seriously like what did I do all summer…

3. I feel like all I did was work, sleep and eat.

4. I had a pretty good summer; there were some good parts.

5. Vacation was probably the most fun…and that’s about it.

6. I feel like I didn’t see any of my friends from high school.

7. Oh well, too late now.

8. I have so much to pack.

9. How am I going to have time to do all this? I have to work every single day this week. Ugh.

10. I need to go to Target.

11. Should I bring this?

12. I don’t think I used this last year, but I might need it this year right?

13. I’m so behind on packing.

14. I have nothing ready.

15. I should be packing my stuff, but it’s sunny out today so I think I’ll lay out instead.

16. Do I bring mostly fall clothes or summer clothes?

17. What did I bring last year?

18. Shoot, what time do I move in?

19. Mom, I’m gonna need more than one box to move all my clothes.

20. Maybe a few extra boxes for my shoes, too.

21. Wow, I have a lot of laundry I need to do.

22. I basically need to wash my entire wardrobe.

23. How am I going to do all of this in so little time?

24. I almost forgot to bring my backpack!

25. I wish I could bring my dogs.

26. Maybe I’ll just bring my dogs without telling Mom or Dad.

27. I wonder how many of my friends are already back on campus.

28. I’m so excited to be surrounded by all my favorite restaurants!

29. I should probably limit myself to eating out once or twice a week…

30. I just remembered Cane’s is opening soon…shoot.

31. I need to create a better budget this year.

32. Who am I kidding? My budget will be the exact same.

33. That reminds me, I still need to go to the grocery store when I get there!

34. Since I’ll be packing a lunch should I get a lunch box?

35. No, I don’t want to look like a freshman.

36. I really hope I can stick to packing every day.

37. But then again there’s a Chick-fil-A right there on campus…

38. I should probably not get Starbucks as much again this year.

39. But once it’s cold and dark in the morning I know I’m going to, ugh.

40. I wonder who’s playing for welcome weekend this year.

41. Should I go to welcome weekend?

42. I’ll see what my friends are doing, I can’t wait to see them!

43. I should probably see what books I need.

44. I’ll get them later.

45. Shoot, I literally move in tomorrow and still have to pack.

46. I hope I didn’t forget anything!

47. If I did I’ll grab it, I’ll get it next time I’m home.

48. See ya later, fam! I’ll miss you!

And just like that, before you know it you’re all moved in and back at school. The three and a half months of summer that you knew is now gone and you’re starting another year at college.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
