7 Signs You're Ready To Go Back To College

The end of summer used to be a depressing time when you were younger, but the thought of moving back into a dorm with your best friends and experiencing everything your campus has to offer has you actually looking forward to summer being over! Here are some of the telltale signs that you’re more than ready to be back on campus:


1. You find yourself looking forward to classes starting because it means actually having something to do.


On days where you’re stuck at home with nothing to do, the thought of homework doesn’t seem all that bad.

2. Back to school shopping gets you excited.


I can’t be the only one that gets excited walking into Target to get new school supplies! And of course, going back to school is an excuse to buy tons of new clothes.

3. You've been texting your roommates daily telling them how much you miss them.


After three months of not living with your friends, you start counting the days until you get to see each other again.

4. You started planning your dorm room decor in June.


Let’s face it, starting college means Pinterest becomes your life.

5. You've slowly been starting to pack for the past two months.


Or you’ve been living out of boxes since you moved back home to avoid having to do it all again.

6. You get visibly more excited when your family asks if you’re ready to go back to school.


With so much to look forward to, how can you not be?

7. Binge watching Netflix doesn’t sound quite as exciting as it did three months ago.


Now that you’ve had all the time in the world to catch up on your favorite shows and finish new ones, you’re ready to return to your campus’ busy atmosphere.

Having a break from the stress that comes with college is nice for a while, but there are definitely more pros than cons of going back and getting closer to whatever you’re working for. Here’s to a great school year!

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.

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.
