5 Signs You're Ready To Go Back To School

Jan 10, 2017

Bring it on spring 2017!

Being on hiatus from school for three weeks we can't deny that we're missing the day to day action of being a college student. I won't deny it! The signs were relevant as soon as Christmas came and went. Here are some signs you're going through school withdrawal:

1. Counting Down The Days.

During school days, I couldn't wait for winter break to put in its annual appearance. This meant a little over three weeks off from homework, writing papers, tests, and final exams. At the end of the semester, I couldn't help missing the hecticness of the school days. Only three weeks left, I told myself, and then it'll start all over.

2. Sleeping-In Isn't Such A Big Deal.

Maybe I'm in denial, but sleep hasn't been high on my to-do list since finishing the semester. Don't get me wrong; I love sleep. But who doesn't, right?! I have been pulling many late nights, but my internal clock is so used to my school schedule, my conscience forbids me to waste my free days sleeping them away.

3. Missing Friends.

I have made many good friends at school, and though we keep in touch via Facebook, it just isn't the same as seeing and conversing in person. Feels like we've been apart for three months, not three weeks!

4. Making Spring/Summer Plans.

I do the winter season an injustice mentioning spring and summer. But I can't help thinking and planning ahead to those warm days when school will be nearing its end, and making way for summer fun. Stephens College offers many fun spring activities, so that definitely has me excited, too.

5. Keeping Busy.

As much as I love my breaks, I can't help feeling a little bored as soon as I'm left waiting for school to start again. I've read four books over the course of three weeks, rearranged my entire room, did house cleaning, and caught up on TV shows. There is absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying the time away from reality. But for me, I am so accustomed to working daily, so when I do have a break I feel as though I need to be doing something. I guess this comes from working for over ten years.

I am excited to kickstart another year at college and be challenged academically. I know it's going to be a great year!

Thanks for reading! :)

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
