5 Reasons You're Happy To Go Back To School

youtube

These last few weeks at home are bittersweet, but I bet you're ready to go back. As eager as you were to go home after spring semester, these have been the longest three months of your life. Almost every college kid can agree they're ready to go back for these five reasons:

1. You miss your friends.

Obviously this is the most agreed upon reason. You may love your high school friends, but it's just not the same. The people you meet in college and spend every minute of free time with are more important that you even realized, and you can't wait to get back to being with them 24/7.

2. You're excited to decorate.

If you're anything like me, you probably think you're the next Joanna Gaines and you love to DIY stuff and you've been doing it all summer. You have everything planned out for your dorm/apartment and can't wait to get it all in there.

3. You actually miss class (and no, I don't mean skipping).

In some odd way, you actually miss learning a little bit. I guess it's like they say if you chose something you love, you'll never work a day in your life.

4. You're tired of "adulting."

Going back to school = no more job! How couldn't you be excited for this?

5. You're always bored.

If you're lucky and you have a day off, odds are all your friends are working anyways. You're always bored and you understand why you were ready to leave in the first place.

Don't worry though, your time at home is almost up. Cherish it and spend as much time with your family as you can. They don't always feel the same way that we do, and they might miss you a little more than you realize.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
