What happens when you study abroad for four months and are finally a week away from seeing your sorority sisters? The anticipation is unreal. Here's a play by play of what is more than likely to go down.

Stage 1: The First Glance

Big bear hugs, lots of laughs and maybe a few tears are often impossible to avoid.

Stage 2: The "I Love You"

When you can finally catch your breath and find some words, you will remind each other how much you love one another, and how much you missed each other, even though everyone already knows.

Stage 3: The Catch Up

A LOT can occur over a semester.

"How have you been? How was school? How's the fam? Any boys? How's the sorority been? Any job prospects? What else should I know? What ever happened with so-and-so? How's life? You did what? Fill me in!"

Stage 4: The Dinner Date

There's nothing like some quality grub to soothe the soul after an emotional day. Plus, it's been way too long since we've been to our favorite food spot, they probably miss us. Honeygrow, we're coming for you, and this time we're having the stir fry AND a honey cup.

Stage 5: The Slumber Party

One Direction music videos, romantic comedies and maybe even some crafting. Regardless of the plan for the night, we will just be happy to have our go-to girls back by our side.

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. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

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.
