How We All Really Feel About Going Back To School
FastCoexist.com

We all stress over little things when going back to school. These are just a few of the main ones that come to my mind when I think about it. Sometimes it's hard to get back in the swing of things because most of us like the overthink the situation. But we all know it'll work out in the end as long as we push through. Hope you enjoy!

1. Why do I have to pay so much for books that I will never use again?

Honestly, why do the books cost so much when tuition is already outrageous?

2. I should probably find a job..

Since most of us get full time summer jobs, we won't have a job when we head back to campus full time. So the job hunt begins all over again if we have any hope of eating something off campus.

3. Should I wear my pajamas or jeans to class?

It's hard to get back into the swing of things, even if you were

Should I wear my pajamas or jeans to class?

working all summer. Waking up and actually getting ready seems useless when you're just going to sit in a classroom for a few hours.

4. I have class at 10, when I get back, I'm taking a nap.

Between stressing about the daily things then adding on how much classes stress us out, we all need a little nap here and there just to keep us on track.

5. Stop asking me if I'm ready for school to start back up.

In all reality we're just ready to graduate. School is great and all but jobs that pay more than $7 an hour are so much better.

6. Of course we will miss home when we head back to school.

Although we often complain about our home towns and cannot wait for school to start back; we appreciate our small town so much more once we have the chance to miss it.

7. We just have to keep reminding ourselves that it will all be worth it in the end and it won't be too much longer before we embark on a new chapter in our lives.

Don't get me wrong. I love college, I love going to school and learning in general. I love the professors and life long friends that I am making along the way, but I've been in school what seems like my whole life. And I am so excited for the chance to do something different.

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?

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.
