As summer draws to a close and the start to school creeps closer, the idea of the first day of school is something on every student's mind. What will I wear? What will it be like? Well, since the first day of school is right around the corner (just two days away for me), I thought it would be fun to combine this with some fun gifs from this years 2016 Rio Olympic games. So, here is my rendition of the first day of school in the form of gifs from the Rio games!

1. The Dreaded Wake Up

As your alarm goes off, waking you up for that first day of school, I know all you are going to want to do is it snooze and go back to bed. Trust me, I will probably do the same. But eventually you will get the energy to stand up and will most likely feel like you need a nap before your day has even begun due to the changes your sleep cycle goes through from summer to school.

2. The Warm Up

Preparations before arriving to school on that first day are essential. Whether you prepare physically like Chad Le Clos or mentally like Michael Phelps, just be ready. I know for me, the pressure is on the minute I enter school that very first day so make sure you do your warm-ups on your way to school and prepare yourself for action just like any Olympic athlete would.


3. You Got This

And if the warm ups weren't enough, a solid pep talk can always do yourself good. You got this-- you will conquer the first day of school! Just like Lori Hernandez killed the bar routine, you will kill the first day of school!

4. The Entrance

As you enter school on that first day sporting your new backpack, outfit (I wear a uniform so this sadly doesn't apply), and sneakers, you will feel like a model walking down the runway. Strut your stuff like Giselle Bündchen down that hallway to show everyone who is ready for the new school year.

5. The Reunion

As you spot your friends across the quad, that feeling of extreme excitement hits. This is the reason you are excited to be back-- spending every waking moment with your best friends in the entire world. Summer has pulled each and every one of you in a thousand different directions and the school year is your chance to spend some quality time together.

6. The School Day Itself

The rest of your day most likely consists of listening to a lot of rules, expectations from each teacher, and class requirements. But, it is also full of some surprises as well, like finding out who is in each one of your classes. Although with social media and texting you probably have a general idea, but seeing your classes that first day is the real deal.

7. The End, For Today

As the end to your first day of school draws to a close, you will feel relieved that this dreaded day has ended, but you must come back again the next day. And the day after that. OK, well at least you got through today and you did it just like an Olympic champ-- you deserves a gold medal!

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!

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

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.
