Returning To College As Told By It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
Seneca Scratching Post

The time has finally come - summer is coming to an end and it's time to get ready to go back to college. You've been counting down the days and the anticipation is nearly killing you. All you want is to be back on campus with all your friends, but here is what you can expect when you make your return:

Moving everything back into your cramped living space


No matter how much you try to only bring the essentials, you know you're going to bring too much. It's impossible to fit everything into your room, let alone your car.

Reuniting with all of your friends


You've been waiting months to see your college friends again, unless you'd been blessed enough to have visits. You just can't wait to get the gang back together to do everything from napping to partying.

Trying to make more friends

Even though you have a solid group of friends, every year, it seems like a great idea to expand your horizons and meet new people to interact with.

Having to deal with more icebreakers in class


It's time to start preparing more fun facts about yourself or "two truths and a lie."

Living on a tight budget again


Now that you're away from home, it's a lot harder to ask for $20 here - and - there from your parents. Get ready to figure out the difference between things you need and things you want.

Watching your hard-earned money being spent on overpriced books

It's ridiculous to spend an extra $100 or so to buy the new edition of a textbook that is probably only different from the older editions by a few different words and pictures, yet you know your professor will require it.

No longer eating homemade food

Say hello to ramen, pizza, and take-out again! You're on your own again and dinner won't be ready for you every night anymore.

Returning to the party scene

You can't wait to party the night away in a random, sweaty basement filled with strangers.

Instagramming all of your nights out


Obviously, you need the best pictures to uphold your self-proclaimed title of social media king/queen and to let all of your followers know that you're back in action at college.

Caring about your appearance again

Whether your school is in the city or in the middle of nowhere, you can't just throw on a bathing suit and go to the beach or the pool. You may not care too much about what you wear to class, but when going out, you definitely want to dress to impress.

Ignoring your first week's work load to party

It's still summer in your mind and there's no way you can even think about schoolwork. You just got back and all you want to do is spend time with your friends and relax.

Dusting off the cobwebs in your brain


Unless you had a rigorous summer job, you most likely weren't preparing for tests and writing essays. It's time to rejuvenate your mind.

Recovering from syllabus week

You spent every day partying but now it's time to pull yourself back together and bring yourself back to life.

Attempting to get all of your procrastinated work finished

Now that syllabus week is over, you realize that the readings and papers assigned are real and must be completed, despite your valiant efforts to ignore all possible work.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
