It's always rough coming back from break and getting back into the busy schedules of classes, studying, sports practice, etc. The new semester is no joke, and often times it feels like the first week is the hardest. If these following gifs strike a chord with you, it probably means it's the first week of class.

1. You're exhausted.

So maybe sleeping in until 2pm every day during break wasn't such a great idea...

2. You have more reading than you can actually accomplish.


Ok, but to be fair, who actually has time to do 208 pages of reading in a week?

3. You feel bad if you wear a lazy day outfit.

When is it acceptable to wear a hoodie again?

4. You feel a desperate need for caffeine.

What do you mean I shouldn't get four shots of espresso?

5. You have to set eight alarms because there's no guarantee you'll wake up on time.

Y'all know what I'm talking about.

6. You've answered the question, "How was your break?" about 8 million times

It was good, how was yours?


The beginning of a new semester can be rough. But it can also be exciting! So when the first week is hitting you hard, just remember how fun it is to be a college kid. You and your friends will have some fun times ahead, so enjoy them until the next break!

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."
