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

Everything to expect when you return to campus.

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
