When you're younger, you probably wished summer could last forever. By the time you're a college student though, I'm sure you're counting down the days until summer ends and you can return to your college town. Being home with your family is always great, but if you're like me, by August you've definitely done these ten things because you can't contain your excitement for the semester to come!
1. Gone dorm or apartment shopping
GiphyI always seem to start shopping way, way too early. I get so excited thinking about the new space to come that I just can't wait until August to start shopping.
2. You have a packing list
GiphyMy packing list seems to grow every day. I'm constantly thinking of more things I need for my upcoming school year.
3. You have a Pinterest board dedicated to dorm decor
GiphyA whole section of your Pinterest is dedicated to organization, decor ideas, and things to buy for your apartment or dorm.
4. You've made a group chat with your roommates
GiphyIf you're living with your best friends like I am, moving in can be that much more exciting!
5. You've perfected your schedule
GiphyEvery year I try hundreds of combinations of classes to get the perfect schedule: no really late night classes, no really early morning classes, no Friday classes. It seems impossible, but it just takes some playing around and constant obsessing over to figure it out.
6. You've spent way too much time watching move in/college vlogs on youtube
GiphyYes, I like watching other people vlog about moving into their apartments for hours on end. I know it's silly, but it makes me more excited and gives me some great ideas for when I move into mine!
7. You've looked into clubs you can join on campus
GiphyWhether your someone who has never been in a college club before or you're in five, you're probably always tempted by the hundreds of options at your university.
8. You've already started planning for the upcoming semester
GiphyI think I purchased my planner in June, and I have already filled it out for the upcoming year. It's always great to get ahead and organized!
9. You bring up your school every chance you get
GiphyYes, constantly being asked what school you go to and about your major can get irritating at times. But most of the time, you'd love any excuse to brag about your school to strangers.
10. You're counting down the days until your move in date
Giphy33 days until move in... 32 days until move in... 31 days until move in...
