Summer is coming to an end. No more summer internships, no more traveling the world and no more living under the same roof as our parents. If you go to IU, chances are you have been waiting for this day to come. Here are just some of the things we Hoosiers have missed most about our favorite place on Earth.

Our beautiful campus

The beauty of this place is what made many of us choose to spend the best four years of our life here. This view makes walking to class not so bad after all.

Extra large cheesy bread with ranch please! No, I don't mind waiting 45 minutes to an hour.

Tailgates

It's that time of year again ladies and gents! Sure our football team doesn't always have the best record, but hey, we've still never lost a tailgate!

KOK

As a 20-year old, I can't relate to this one too much, but word on the street is that Kilroy's is a pretty big deal.

The ability to order Jimmy John's until 4 a.m.

I guess other Jimmy John's normally close at like, 9 p.m?

Basketball games

We have high hopes for this season with new recruit Romeo Langford. Look out B1G, here we come!

Who doesn't love getting screamed at that you are going to hell on your way to class in Ballantine?

Hartzell's ice cream

One scoop of cookies and cream please!

Welcome week

Classes haven't started/gotten too difficult yet, everyone is excited to be back after a long summer away and many memories are waiting to be made.

Peach Taaka?

OK maybe we don't miss this one so much, but something about IU's drink of choice just feels like home.

Getting Baked!

The best cookies I've ever eaten. Yes, it's cookies.

Little 500 week

While we have a while to wait for that and we don't want to rush the year away, Little 5 week will always have a soft spot in the heart of any Hoosier.

Perhaps the thing we miss most. With every favorite place comes favorite people. It feels good to have everyone you ever need to see within 20-minute walking distance again.

Every year we return to IU we appreciate our beautiful school a little bit more. At the same time, it is another year closer to Doomsday: graduation. We love you Bloomington, don't ever change.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
