Six Thoughts About Next Semester

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
