1. When you see your best friends and roomies after a month of missing them

They're your rock, the thing that keeps you from pulling your hair and teeth out on those stressful nights of studying. Nothing is better than reuniting with them after such a long time apart.

2. When you're trying to sleep your first night back on campus and your neighbors won't shut up at 3 in the morning

Ah, I love the sound of bass and drawers slamming and people screaming when I have to get up in three and a half hours-- wait, NOT. We've all had people like that, whether they live above you, next to you, or even in your own room! Just try to find sme ear plugs and pop a melatonin, my pals.

3. When you finally have unlimited access to the never-ending junk food on campus

Chicken fingers, french fries, Chinese food, ice cream, soda, pie-- you name it, i can get it at any given time on my campus. And who would rather eat broccoli over a slice of pizza anyways? Maybe I should add work on impulse control to my to-do list...

4. When you have to wake up and walk in the cold to your 8 AM class

It's the first week of classes, first impressions are everything! There's no excuses for not going. My suggestion is to make at least three cups of coffee and make sure you're dressed warmly!

5. When the professor is going over the syllabus

Blah, blah, blah. Same stuff, different professor. We know not to cheat or use our phone in class. We also know you don't want to be here just as much as us.

6. When your assigned an essay on the first day of class

College isn't for the weak, my buds. There's no waiting period to ease back into the swing of things. Essays happen, especially at the beginning of the semester. Don't be like Chris, it won't be the end of the world! If you're stuck, visit your campus writing center, they'll be glad to help!

7. When you've conquered the first week of classes


One down 16 more to go! 16 more tiring, stressful, anxiety-ridden weeks... but we got this, right guys?

8. When you and your besties get to finally hang out on the weekend


Time to let loose, shake your booty, drink something fun, and get your sax ready! The first weekend back is always a wild one-- just make sure to do your homework once you recover!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
