Signs You're Addicted To Traveling

Your next trip has already been planned before your current trip.

Signs You're Addicted To Traveling
Kate Larsen

So you just landed or pulled into your driveway from a trip of a lifetime. You think about all the amazing experiences you had and the inspiring people you met. It can be hard thinking about getting back into your everyday routine, but what's also on your mind as you're ending your trip? Your next trip. This is when you know you're addicted to traveling. So,

1. You're always thinking about where you're going next.

You're sitting in class or laying in bed at night daydreaming of where you're wanting to go and what you're planning to do. I understand, it's hard to not daydream.

2. You have at least one travel website bookmarked.

Or three. It becomes a hobby to look through possible destinations and figuring out if you have enough money to make this trip happen.

3. You're energized by the feeling when departing home.

When you walk into the airport or hop into your car, you can't contain your excitement. The thought of being in a completely new place soon makes you impatient. "Are we there yet?"

4. You've made a list of all the places you must visit before you die.

Whether this is across the country or just to another state, it adds up. It's time to start saving and you're okay with that.

5. You save for traveling instead of items.

You know the value of traveling and seeing other cultures. Experiences mean a lot to you and that's why you save.

6. But, you always come home.

Even though traveling is great and you may want to do it all the time, it's also a comforting feeling walking inside and sleeping in your own bed. You will always come home.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
