Going Back to College

The best years of your life

Going Back to College

The summer has ended and now it is time to come back to school, and get back into the swing of things. For some, they might wish it could still be summer so they could still be relaxing without any stress or worries. However, if you are in college like me, you might be extremely excited to come back! There is just something about being back at college. I remember I dreaded going back when I was still in high school, but college is different. In high school, every little thing was scheduled to a tee, but in college my autonomy is magnified and I feel free. You get to be on your own and independent. Unlike high school, you actually get to take classes that interest you. There are so many activities and clubs to be involved in while in college. Not to mention the friends you make that truly care about you and will be there after you graduate.

Going back to college may be stressful, but they are the best years of your life. Sitting in class and studying for hours may not be the most fun, but getting that great education is so worth it. You truly find yourself while in college, meet amazing people, and major in what you want to do for the rest of your life.

College is a time to learn new things. Not just inside of the classroom, either. You learn new things about yourself, about others, and you learn things about the world. Make the most of these years because they will go by fast. I know from experience. I feel like I was just a freshman, and now with the blink of and eye I am a junior. Enjoy each day, work hard and most importantly make memories!

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.
