Playing With Barbies Beats Paying Bills. Can I be 6, Again?

When you think back to kindergarten, you remember hating nap time, loving recess and thinking that all boys have cooties. Now you're in college... Internships and paying bills are on your mind as well as becoming a responsible adult. Amidst of all the grown up work, you are just wishing that you could go back to the time when the biggest struggle was getting a grass stain on your new Children's Place jeans.

Can you believe you hated nap time? I mean HATED nap time. Your dislike for napping was like being a Colts fan looking at the Patriots. You wanted to go and play with your bff's on the pimped out playground your school just got. Think to now. Many college students say that napping HAS to be a part of their day or else they are out of their minds. Busy day? Doesn't matter. A quick 15 minute nap is going to squeeze it's way into your day, even if it means stuffing a Boar's Head sub in your mouth in under five minutes.

To have fun now, you have to spend an hour or so to get all dolled up and go out with your girlfriends to let out some of your steam. Why couldn't it be as easy as walking outside of your class to climb on the monkey bars or play tag to prove you're the best on the grounds? The simpler times were so amazing and we didn't even know it.

Boys having cooties made life also very simple... I think you can understand why. Less drama, more happiness. The gentleman on our campus can cause some major strife in some girls lives. So, I’m just going to leave it at that.

With summer coming up, many are thinking about the summer internships they wish to receive to further their career. It’s all about thinking about our future now than trying to get the best tan possible. So while there may be some perks of growing up, I think I speak for many when college students wish they could go back to being little kindergartners wondering about life. Because let’s face it…

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.
