I truly am a summertime warrior and will most likely be soaking up my last hours of sun the day before my first day of classes. I think many students share my Wake me up when September ends mentality. You are not alone. Instead of crying, laugh through the pain with me. *wipes away tear, reaching for a new notebook at Staples*

Getting up for those 8:30 classes.

Dorming makes this tragedy a little bit better. You can wake up and run to class. Commuters on the other hand do not have that luxury. Not only do you have to deal with family situations at home before class, but waking up 2 hours early to drive and get a parking space isn't exactly fun.

Finding a parking spot.

It's basically grand theft auto in real life. Senior Tip: the red hawk deck pass is worth the money. You'll never have to wonder if you're going to find a spot.

Summertime Sadness

*sobbing* *screaching* Anyone that would rather be in class than on a sandy beach is a person I do not trust!

Balancing work, classes, social life, and physical activity.

College students are really underestimated for their multitasking. I'd like to see you complete a quick gym session, find a Halloween costume, study all night for a midterm term, take it, rally for the party that night and make it out alive to tell the story. (true)

Professors who disregard syllabus week.

I mean do they really want to teach that bad?! Aren't you depressed? Can we at least play an icebreaker or something?!!!!

When someone talks to you before 10am.

I don't understand morning people. Never have, never will.

Freshman who are just clueless.

Can't you see that I am already rushing to my class I don't have time to give you a detailed description of how to get to every building. Wow, I love your lanyard, also you are about to walk into wall....

F*ck Boys.

Nope. Just, Nope.

Overpriced average food.

Montclair does have some decent options... (Panda Express, California tortilla, Dunkin, Au Bon Pain) However they are no Chipotle, and I feel I am charged for basically breathing everywhere I go. Don't we pay enough money?

Couples who insist on almost procreating in public.

Please save that for your house or dorm. As much as you may think we don't notice, WE DO.

The first paper, or test of the semester.

You have no idea what to expect, you studied all night and still have this lurking anxiety that you will indeed fail. Welcome to College!

But remember, at least it's almost time for PSL's, apple picking, and Halloween. You can do it, happy back to school kiddies!
