Preparing To Go Back To School After The Summer

As the Summer is quickly coming to an end, college students are trying to get used to the idea that school is starting back very soon. This is where you're stuck in the middle of being so incredibly done with your hometown, but no quite ready to get back into reality. So here are the 10 stages that you feel when you realize that Summer is coming to an end.


1. Denial

Summer isn't really coming to an end is it?


2. Realization

Where did all the time go? You've not done half of the things you had planned to do- and now it's too late to do anything.


3. Organizing

Trying to find everything you've lost over the break and getting things ready to be packed up.

4. Despair

You haven't spoken to anyone from school for weeks now, you remember all the hard classes you signed up for and you suddenly realize how much of a struggle this is actually going to be.


5. Hope

Maybe there will be some freak weather that will postpone school from starting for a few extra weeks?


6. Expectation

You try to think positive about this upcoming semester, and have high expectations. Just keep telling yourself that everything is going to be just fine.


7. Procrastinating

You have many things to do to get ready for school but instead you kick back and relax because you can do that important stuff later.


8. Panic

Okay, you procrastinated too long and now you're screwed.


9. Pulling yourself together

You have no more time and you have to start getting your things together.


10. Acceptance

This is happening and school is starting no matter what. You've just got to accept it and keep going. Actually, if you admit it you've been suffering a bit of cabin fever and it's going to be good to get out again and see everyone.

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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.
