Back To Campus As Told By Gossip Girl

Attention Upper East Siders, it's time to head back to school.

Back To Campus As Told By Gossip Girl

Unfortunately we cant all go to school on the Upper East Side, or join Blair at NYU. But that doesn't mean we don't share the same feelings as the Gossip Girl cast regarding our first weeks back to class.

No matter how much fun you’ve had this summer, when the end of August comes around you find yourself counting down the hours until you’re back on campus.

You’ve packed up the car and are already to leave the next morning when it hits you that this is the last night sleeping in your bed. You’ll be living in a Twin XL until Thanksgiving. It’s a tough goodbye.

Getting back to campus means being reunited with your friends and your roommates and you cant wait to catch up. But it also means being back with some people you could have done without.

Finally it’s time to go out and it's as if summer never happened and no time has passed at all.

But then Monday rolls around and that means the first day of classes. The party’s just begun but it already seems to be over.

Your professor has finally finished discussing the syllabus and you’re ready to get out early when he then says it’s time to start the first lesson.


You find yourself watching a lot of Netflix again. Like...a lot.

It seems like the week just drags on and classes are already proving to be rough. But you don't give up…

Because soon enough it’s the weekend again and everything is ok.

Now you just have a whole year to get through. But just remember, Work like a Humphrey, think like a Bass. Act like a Waldorf, dress like a Van der Woodsen and you'll be set.

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.

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.
