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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
