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.
