Fall Semester Vs. Spring Semester

Fall and Spring Semester...basically the same thing, right? NO!

The difference between these semesters is like night and day. Honestly, these semesters are just as different as our college vs. high school years. Here are 6 differences between fall and spring semester.

1. A nice day

Fall Semester: nobody cares, people aren't outside playing frisbee, and people are in sweatshirts

Spring Semester: everybody is smiling, people are studying outside, everybody is wearing summer attire

2. Syllabus week

Fall Semester: the best week ever and campus seems like a movie, everybody is excited to see their college friends after a long summer

Spring Semester: winter break is over already? I don't feel like going out in the cold...when is spring break?

3. Breaks

Fall Semester: Christmas!! Everybody is cheery and happy to spend time with their families

Spring Semester: you're either one of the few who goes on a beautiful vacation...or one that sits home for a week

4. Dining hall food

Fall Semester: "this isn't that bad....I almost missed this over the summer..."


Spring Semester: this food is GROSS and I am never eating on campus again

5. The gym

Fall Semester: not too crowded because summer is over and it's time to hide in a sweatshirt


Spring Semester: a room of panicked people who gained 5 lbs over winter break and are dire to lose it before "bikini season"...lets not mention everybody that made a New Years Resolution...

6. Classes

Fall Semester: starts off all organized, almost excited to get back on the "grind"

Spring Semester: "I'm still stressed out from last semester's finals....?"

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
