Eleven Stages of Returning to School

It's that time of year again! And by THAT, I mean the time of screaming children, soccer moms, being harassed by music you're disinterested in at lunch, and pretending you don't exist!

1. You feel excitement to see your friends and return to the halls that held so many memories! Of course, school is still four weeks away....

2. Your class schedule arrives in the mail sparking panic over who will be in those classes...Jack from the football team? Jane from the cheer squad? Of course, your biggest worry is if your bestie is in your lunch period.

3. There's some slight excitement about picking out all new notebooks and a first day of school outfit after begging your parents for some cash and a ride and trying to dodge their pep-talks about the upcoming year.

4. Posting your schedule on Snapchat and Instagram to make sure you know as many people as possible in your classes, for better or worse. (Porbably worse...)

5. Calling your counselor and pitching a fit because if Bill from last year, now in your third block, even THINKS about pulling your ponytail or even talking to you, he will not live until June.

6. Finally getting switched from third block and asking around the previous year's class to get the scoop on all of your teachers. Of course, you got stuck with a spitter in first block.

7. Pinning Life Hacks of all sorts to your Back to School Pinterest board as if you'll actually do them...LOL, you'll forget they even exist until Christmas break and by then you're too lazy to try it.

8. Ending all your Summer flings...or job....because you totally told your friends there was another hot waiter. He was hot though...just in the "dripping with sweat" way...

9. Hardly sleeping the night before, and probably spending most of the night eating ice cream with Netflix, in attempt to brace yourself for the coming year of boys, drama, homework, friends, mean teachers, and tripping up the stairs.

10. Trying to get dressed, even though your once amazing outfit suddenly looks a whole lot worse than it did upon purchase.

11. Arriving to your first period class nervously and, even though Jane is there to poke fun at your hair, your best friends have your back bringing much relief.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
