Anticipation, Worry, and Relief?

Six Thoughts About Next Semester
Flavorwire

Once again summer vacation is coming to an end. The convenient months off to relax and fill our bank accounts have us all anticipating our coming school year. Our minds are racing in a million different directions, but here's the more universal thoughts we all share.

6. "Oh god. Do you think people still remember *insert embarrassing text here*."

It's college: we've all done something that was totally unflattering. Honestly, no one probably does. If they do: who cares? Don't sweat other people's opinions and let that dictate how you see yourself.

5. Grades...yeah.

A new semester is a fresh start for every student. There is room for improvement in everything and everyone. Don't stress yourself out early before classes even begin. If it's really bothering you, then take steps to combat the issue. Maybe try to not procrastinate. Start studying in the library? You can reach max potential with such easy, determined strategies.

4. Money?

Yeah, it's nice to have some dough now, but it'll all be gone soon. Don't sweat it. It's a part of being in college. We will all have decent income someday.

3. New year, new me?

It's cool to better yourself, but don't change yourself just because you're heading back to school. Personal growth is awesome, but stay true to yourself! Focus more on style, maybe? Maybe focus on the way you interact with people? Wanna be more social? Go out more. Live the life you want to live authentically.

2. I don't know what's coming my way.

That's perfectly fine. Life is meant to be unpredictable. Every semester is going to throw you a curve ball that you will overcome. Keep yourself focused and you'll pave the way to another great year.

1. I cannot wait to see my friends.

This goes through my head everyday. I get so excited seeing all of my buddies after a long summer. Cherish the new moments you are going to make because you're one step closer to graduating.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
