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.
