8 Emotions We All Feel When Going Back To School
Efoods Direct

As summer winds down, it means that it’s time to go back to school and even though you had a bunch of plans to get out and have fun, we all know you stayed inside in the air conditioning binge watching Orange is the New Black. Whether you went to an in-state school or traveled far from home, you’ll be reunited with friends… and homework. Read on to recall the emotions of returning to school after a long, hot summer.

1. Excitement

As crazy and annoying your family can be, you’re ready to get back to your best friends, all the tailgating done at various sports events and the frat party. Did anyone say flip-cup?

2. Shock/surprise

This textbook cost how much? You forgot that you had to give up all your money, your left leg and your unborn child for this organic chemistry course book. While they probably won’t get their intended use, they’ll make great paper weights or TV stands for your dorm.

3. Broke


“Where has all your money gone?” You don’t know why you only have three dollars in your wallet… and who knows how much is left in your bank account. Hopefully you can find a friend that will let you use their Netflix account…

4. Comfortable

After the first few weeks have past, you feel dare we say… calm. You’ve settled into your routine: wake up, got to class (or don’t), eat, take naps and maybe do homework…

5. Hungry

Don’t try to tell me that hunger isn’t an emotion. It may be a constant state for college students… but are you hungry because you’re bored or because you’re actually hungry? One of the world’s unanswered questions remains.

6. Stressed

You have five finals and three of them are on the same day… maybe stressed is an understatement. How did you not notice that mid terms were approaching so fast? Was it all that binge watching Narcos? At this point, you’re probably calculating how many questions you can afford to get wrong in order to get a C.


7. Fear

What’s done is done, you’ve completed your mid terms… all you can do is sit and try not to think about what will happen if you fail that course required for graduation. Everything is going to be juuuuust fine... *twitch*

8. Relief

When you get your grades back after the excruciating wait and you actually passed. Treat yo' self!

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
