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!

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.
