Even Though It Feels Like Forever, It Goes By Quick

5 Stages Of Being Home From College
The Wandering Wanderlusters

1) Relief.

No more deadlines! No more tests! No more alarms! Until you decide to tell your boss that you're home from college.You can see your dog! Everyday! For months!

2) Boredom.

All your friends from home are working, you're working, and your friends from school are working or live too far away. You start to miss taco bell runs and walking down the hall to see your best friends. Summer has only just began and it feels like it's going to be the longest one ever.

3) You realize that school is coming up and summer is almost over, and even though it felt like forever you realize that you haven't really done anything.

Like go to the beach, or anything else because you were too busy working or watching netflix. Now is the time to cram as much activities as possible into a short span of time so you don't feel like you missed out on anything.

4) Packing

Time to fit your entire closet into tiny boxes! You haven't worn those shirts since middle school? Well, you never know when you're going to wear them, so I would bring them just in case (you won't).

5) You're finally back with your friends! And while you're happy to be back, the realization that school starts in a few days starts to slowly dawn on you.... But then you remember baking cookies at midnight, spontaneous ice cream runs, and blasting music while cramming for that one test, and suddenly being back to school sounds pretty great.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
