I'm an Elderly Sophomore

I am officially a college student who is too tired to go crazy

I'm an Elderly Sophomore
msecnd.net

I remember the beginning of my freshman year like it was yesterday; it was a mess, but it was great. Last year I could stay up until 4 in the morning, and still get up in time for my 8:55 class with no problems. Okay, I only stayed up until 4 one time, don't worry mom. I was basically invincible, and was expecting to be the same was for my sophomore year. Nope

I don't know how three months of summer break turned me into an old lady, but I feel like I am happily retired elderly woman. Seriously, yesterday I yelled at kids outside my window for being too loud, and the worst part was they were on a field trip. I also think my knees might be going, so maybe I'll get a cane.

In all honesty, I think it is because maybe I have matured a little over the past year. Yeah, your freshman year is great with parties and finally feeling freedom. I'm over it now. So very much over it. I can totally still go to a frat party every once in a while, but I used to go to maybe all three of our frats in a single night last year. Now, you couldn't pay me to make a trek to one, like why would I want to be in a small room and have to pretend to know how to dance? Maybe you could pay me... maybe. I would rather stay in a dorm and hang out with a few people. I know some other people are feeling this too: because my over the top party friend, didn't go out this Friday. That shook me to my core. It's not just me turning into an old lady, it's all of us. I think freshman me would slap sophomore me.

Even right now, it's 10 o'clock on a Friday night, and I am writing this instead of going to a party...

But, I think I prefer being a mild mannered sophomore to an over-the-top oblivious freshman.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:
