Going back to school is probably one of the worst feelings that a person can feel. Especially when it comes to college. It can feel almost like a loss. To prove it, here are the five stages of grief, and how they pertain to the impending doom of school.

1. Denial

This is always the easiest. Just pretend life is grand, and that school is not in fact starting in ten days time.

2. Anger

This is where it gets difficult. This is where you bitch and whine at the fact that you'll lose both your freedom and happiness sooner than you'd like.

3. Bargaining

You'll give anything not to have to go back. Anything.

4. Depression

The sadness creeps in, and there is nothing more you can do but sit in misery when you realize school is right around the corner.

5. Acceptance

Obviously, this is the last stage, when you finally come to terms with going back to school. And naturally, this happens half-way through the semester, when you realize finals are around the corner, and the whole process repeats again.
