Well, it's that time of the year again, the start of school. If you're at a new school or just have new classes, most of you will recognize the symptoms of a new start of the semester.

1. Holding your class schedule in front of you like a Freshman

Even if you're a senior or junior, the same thing always remains the same. With a new semester comes a new class schedule. If you've been at your school for a while and know where most everything is, the fact still remains, for the first few days you're holding your schedule in the front of your nose after almost every class.

2. The influx of new students

With the beginning of the semester comes the greatest amount of students you'll be around for most of the semester. With the lines stretching almost all the way out of the union at lunch and nightmarish parking, you can definitely tell that school is back in session.

3. Syllabus week

Most professors spend most of the first class going over the syllabus, which a lot of the class won't read. Even if your professor is that one that assigns homework with five minutes left in the first day, they will always spend almost an hour going over the syllabus.

4. Your crazy group of friends is finally back together again

If we're honest with ourselves, many of us have a group of friends that are far from sane. People who don't know our group look at us as if we're insane and walk to the other side of the sidewalk. We don't care, mainly because we're to busy being insane to notice.

5. You're back in your favorite professor's class, and your least favorite

There's always one professor we all love and the one we just want to retire. Most of the time we have the one we don't like almost every semester. Having that class with your favorite professor makes up for it and keep you mostly sane.

6. You say goodbye to your friends that live in the library

We all know people who are on first name basis or face to desk basis with the library. The only time you really see them is when you brave the shelves to study yourself, or you've been sent in to ferret them out to see the light of day again.

7. Your social life grinds to a halt when the semester starts again

Even with the first weekend of the new year, comes a new set of projects, exams, and tests, and every year they seem to start earlier and earlier. It's something you can't avoid and just have to live with it and roll with the punches, even if they start coming after two days of class.
