An Accurate Description Of The Beginning Of Summer

upload.wikimedia.org

A year of college is now complete!! As I am writing this, I have been back at home for exactly a week. Here are some things that have come to mind with all my recent spare time and lack of school work to keep me occupied. I am sure most college students could relate to these thoughts that have been running through my mind.

"I definitely brought too much stuff"

Packing up all the stuff from your dorm room is in no way fun. What is even worse is bringing it all back home and attempting to find a place for it all. After looking at all the stuff I took, I am determined to not take as much with me to MSU for sophomore year. My room is currently half dorm decor and half all the other items that were already there. It's a mess.

"Time to catch up on sleep"

Finals wear you out! While technically you cannot make up for lost sleep, there's no harm in trying and allowing yourself to sleep in for once!

"It's nice to have my own room"

My dorm was a nice size. I in no way felt cramped and loved sharing the room with my roommate, but it is nice to not have to worry about splitting a space equally. My room is all my space!

"I miss my college friends"

It's weird not being able to walk down the hall or walk somewhere close by to see your friends. Now, I am one if not more states away from them. Sure we will keep in touch this summer, but it is not the same as being able to see them in person whenever

" I wonder when my friends from (insert any university) will be home"

Finally, now that it is summertime I can see my friends from home! Some are already back while others are currently taking their finals. I am just excited for us to all be back in the same place again.

All in all, being back home for over 3 months is an adjustment to make.

But I am happy to be home and can't wait to have more fun.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. 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.
