The 5 Stages Of Starting Fall Semester As Told By 'Bob’s Burgers'

Starting the fall semester is always the hardest thing to do, because the three months of summer freedom are over and you have now sold your soul back to school as classes begin again. It’s a rough life out there for a college student, y’all. There are many terrible stages as the semester begins again but to make it simpler, I’ll just give you five!

1. Excitement

You get excited as you begin to move back, because you finally get to see all of your best friends again! My personal second favorite of coming back for fall semester is FOOTBALL SEASON STARTING SOON. You reunite with all of your friends and get to catch up on everything that you did this summer! You get to hang out and relax before the stress of the semester begins!

2. Crying

You begin to sell your soul to the bookstore as you spend close to $400 on just textbooks alone. You then realize you have to go back to being a broke college student, because you just spent your last summer job paycheck on your textbooks.

3. Temporary Stress

You already start to stress because you begin to look at just the first chapter of your textbook. As you look at the first chapter, you realize you REMEMBER NOTHING THAT YOU LEARNED IN PRIOR SEMESTERS. This causes you to begin to panic and stress, but then remember that sometimes the professors are nice enough to at least review before teaching new material.

4. Relaxation

You finally begin to relax again, because you realize that you still have a few days of summer left. You use these last few days to sleep in while you can, finish binge watching any shows that you started on Netflix, hiding in your room from people, reading for fun, or even still spending time with your friends. Enjoy this stage while you can!

5. Panic

This begins the night before classes begin. The horrible, horrible Sunday night. You’re sitting with your friends when one of them suddenly says, “Y’all, classes start tomorrow.” Everyone then looks at one another in shock and realizes how fast these last few days went by because y’all were having so much fun being back together. Everyone begins to panic all together because your sweet, sweet freedom is gone and you now belong to your classes and student organizations yet again.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

University of Wisconsin Branch Schools

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

11 Struggles Of Having An “Ethnic” Name

You'll never find any souvenirs with your name on it

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
