After a long and chilly six weeks, it's finally time to get back to the Q. You're excited to see your friends and get settled back in, but classes are closing in. Once you realize you have an actual class with actual homework to do in the next few days, you'll probably come to the conclusion that you are incredibly unprepared for this traumatic and sudden change. Goodbye sleeping until noon, hello 8 a.m. classes!
1. You have to set your alarm on Sunday night.
This alone could make anyone scream.
2. Once your alarm is set, you realize you actually have to go to sleep at a decent hour.
But, I haven't finished all 23 episodes of this season! You want me to wait... until...tomorrow?
3. You finally fall asleep around 2:30 a.m.
Your body just isn't ready for this transition.
4. You wake up from your stupid alarm and hate your life...and your alarm clock.
How does anyone do this on a daily basis? I am clearly not ready for the real world.
5. Scrambling to find clothes, the first class of the semester starts in 20 minutes, and it's all the way in the communications building.
Why did I do this to myself? I knew the day I was registering this would be a bad Idea.
6. Finally finding your most comfortable shoes to go with your leggings and sweatshirt super-outfit, you're running out the door.
I can do this. I have done this for three previous semesters. Today will be my day.
7. You slip on ice because...well it's winter now, and that means watching where you put your feet.
I did not see this one coming.
8. After nearly face-planting, you pull yourself together to run across the quad and get yourself to that very first class.
Wow, that would've been really embarrassing if I cared at all.
9. You get to your class on time and sit in what will be your official, unassigned seat for the rest of the semester.
At least, I got the desk that doesn't do that weird squeaking thing.
10. Your class starts and the teacher is only going through the syllabus.
Which is great because you have to catch your breath before doing anything productive.
11. Once this class is over, you realize you have three more classes... and an entire semester to get through.
But 2016 will be my year...right?!
Good luck on the first day of classes for your spring 2016 semester!
