During the school year, it is evident that students at James Madison University are obsessed with their school. From the people to the food, football games, and other moments in between, there is no doubt that us students are proud to call ourselves Dukes.

However, during the summer months, we all have to be thinking the same things.

1. "Why do all my friends live so far?"

No matter how far apart we may be during the summer months, friendships created at JMU will last a lifetime. If you're lucky, y'all will see each other once or twice over the summer. Hang in there Dukes, it's almost time to be reunited with your people.

2. "I can't wait to see D-hall"

If you're new to JMU this fall, consider yourself blessed. You got here at just the right time. If you're like the rest of us, you've been waiting two years for this dining hall to open. Filled with a new Freshens, Steak and Shake, Chick-fil-A, and a brand new D-hall, every Duke can't stop thinking about Sunday brunch once we return.

3. "FROG week wya"

For freshmen, this is a time to submerge yourself in this wonderful place we all call home. For everyone else, it's drinking time.

4. "I hope the quad cats aren't lonely"

If you haven't been privileged to meet the quad cats, I'm sorry. However, if you have, then you know they're the cutest animals and truly bring you good luck. I feel so bad we aren't there to keep them company all summer long and cannot wait to see my babies again.

5. "When is open enrollment???"

Whether you need to enroll in a class in order to graduate on time, or you just want a spot in volleyball for the hell of it, none of us the time nor the patience to wait until August 1 to switch our schedule around. Why can't we just do it now??

6. "Who is my new roommate?"

Most of us have roommates picked out for the next academic year in early September, but some are bold enough to go random! What if they're weird? What if they don't clean? What if all they do is hang out with their BF/GF all the time and won't be my BFF?? Living with someone new is exciting and scary all at once, but lucky for all of us JMU is filled with some of the best people in the entire world.

7. "How can I get tan before FROG week?"

If you're anything like me, you're spending your summer months working your ass off, which leaves little time to lay out at the beach and get a tan. If all else fails and you can't find time to get tan, embrace your pale self or just get a spray.

8. "How many summer classes can I take to graduate on time?"

If you've taken a Maymester, you know that they are absolutely miserable. But hey, if we can graduate on time it's worth it in the end right?

9. "What new organizations can I join this fall?"

Greek life is amazing, as are organizations such as Student Ambassadors, SafeRides, and UPB. But real talk, who wouldn't be down for a cheese club???

10. "When does football season start?"

Tailgates, football games, wondering how we managed to lose a shoe in between, all Dukes are ready for football season and we are #blessed to have one of the best teams around.

11. "When can I go back?"

Being home around your family is great, but real talk, when can we go back to the happiest place on earth?

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
