5 Thoughts You Have When You Move Back To College
Aroundthearch.com

Moving back to your college town is such an exciting time filled with reuniting with friends you haven’t seen in months. However, once you’re finally back in the swing of things, you’re sure to have thought and or said these out loud.

  1. I need to buy my textbooks

During the first few days back, you can always find college students on their laptops comparing prices of books sold from the campus bookstore, Amazon, and other online sources. You can also find them stressing over when their books will arrive, and wondering which books you will actually wind up needing, and which ones were wasted money.

2. I miss my___.

My own bed, my dog, my family. Sometimes you never really know what you have until you move away from it.

3. I’m blowing all my money

You tell yourself that you won’t constantly go out to eat or online shop, but you haven’t even been back a week and you’re already doing exactly that.

4. I’m already stressed out.

Being back is exciting, but it isn’t until you’re back that you realize that, yes, classes are starting, which means pulling all-nighters to study for tests and being held accountable for your assignments. However, classes starting means having more structure in your day, and having more to do than to binge-watch Netflix (although, don’t get me wrong, that isn’t a bad thing either).

5. I’m so sunburnt.

If you’re anything like me, you came back from summer vacation red as a tomato. The only consolation is that you know that eventually it will fade to tan.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
