Here we go again...

7 Thoughts I Had on the First Day of Fall Semester

Well, it's that time of year again. For some, it is their very first Fall semester of college, and others have been through this before...maybe multiple times. As I made my way through my first week of classes and attempted to get myself into a set schedule again, I realized that I seem to have the same thoughts running through my head during this first week back every single year. For that reason, I have compiled a list of thoughts that I had during the first week of Fall semester.

1. Here we go again...

Yep, that's the very first thing that ran through my head when I woke up on Monday morning having no idea what hall I was even going to for my first class.

2. Is that my alarm? Why did I set that?

Correction...THAT is the first thing that ran through my mind when I woke up on Monday morning. After having the entire summer off of school and going to work later in the day most days, I completely forgot why I was getting up so early.

3. Am I actually going to need this textbook I just spent all of my money on?

Seriously...I get pretty skeptical about these professors when it comes to packing my backpack with 50lbs of books worth hundreds of dollars on the first day, just to find out later on that the book is not actually mandatory. Do I actually need this? Or can I actually save my money for something more important and relieve my back of at least 25lbs right now by taking this meaningless textbook out of it.

4. Why are you walking so slow???

Some of us actually need to book it across campus to make it to class in three minutes so if you could get out of my way, that would be fantastic.

5. Another year of driving around campus aimlessly just for a parking space that is not even close to any of my classes

Glad I pay for this parking pass so that I can not find anywhere to park my car on campus.

6. Why on earth is that girl wearing heels????

I was amazed at how many girls I saw walking up and down hills on campus in heels on the first day of classes. Do you have a death wish? Cause if you trip, it's all over. My advice? Leave the heels at home and try something more comfortable. You're going to class, not a fashion show.

7. Arriving at class and finally realizing that the semester has started and summer is officially over

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.
