If you're anything like me, going back to school releases a smorgasbord of emotions inside you ranging from fierce excitement to absolute disgust. While there are some things I really enjoy about returning to school, there are other things I could definitely do without. Here are 15 things I think each time school starts back up again.
1. Oh crap, it's August. School is just around the corner.
2. I should probably order my books now. So. Many. Books.
3. WHY ARE BOOKS SO EXPENSIVE? I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS RIGHT NOW. I'M JUST A POOR COLLEGE KID.
4. Do I really need to finish my degree? There are so many other options open to me. I could become a writer. Or a professional dog walker. Or a magician. Who doesn't like magic?
5. Okay, focus. School isn't that bad. Campus life is actually kind of nice if you stop and think about it.
6. You can meet a lot of new and interesting people.
7. You have the freedom to stay up late hanging out with those kids down the hall you just met. Anyone up for a nonsensical game that only you guys know the rules to?
8. Also, you get to see all the friends you haven't been able to see in three months. Hello, happy reunion!
9. Of course, that means being a part of all your friends' crazy ideas.
10. Or choosing to ignore them and do your own thing (even if it's not much better).
11. But college isn't all fun and games. You have to go to class and do homework. So much homework.
12. You'll have group projects to do (most likely with people who don't cooperate or are impossible to get in touch with outside of class.)
13. You might get stuck with a roommate you really don't like.
14. Or you could just be surrounded by a bunch of noisy hall mates.
15. But when it's all over you'll get your degree and it will all be worth it. Right?
