All of us look forward to summer and the rest time that it brings. But after a while you become ready to get back to school. Perhaps out of boredom, or perhaps because you miss your friends. Regardless of our reason, there are several things that those of us who are ready for the semester to begin have in common.
1. Feeling like you've been doing the same thing all summer long.
Even our favorite activities can get boring after a while. On campus, there is usually always something going on, and that is not the case while you're at home. As much as I love to read books and watch Netflix, something that is a bit more active would be a welcome change.
2. You actually miss the food on campus.
This may sound a bit strange to some, but the food is actually one of the things I'm looking forward to when I get back. While the food at home is most definitely tastier, there's something to be said about having choices on what you want to eat. Plus, at college, no one is going to judge you for eating pasta for lunch and dinner, or ordering pizza late at night.
3. You resent not having everything in walking distance.
Being able to take a short walk to get those pizza rolls I've been craving all day is something that I definitely took for granted. Now I have to wait to get a ride If I want to go anywhere.
4. Actually looking forward to your classes.
Being a History major means that I will definitely have a lot of writing to do this fall. Do I find this a bit intimidating? Yes. Does that stop me from being excited to take a class about medieval Europe? Absolutely not. Those three History classes I am taking are going to be a challenge, I realize that. But I also can't wait to get all of that neat information.
5. Little things are annoying you more.
This is one of those things that just seems to go along with wanting a change in pace. It happens when I'm ready for school to end, so it makes sense that it would happen when I'm ready for school to begin.
6. You miss having your friends around all the time.
This is especially true for those of us who are more introverted. Even though I am a girl who definitely needs my privacy, I am excited to be surrounded by my friends again.
The summer is coming to a close, and while some people are dreading the beginning of fall semester, I am happy that I have some things to look forward to.
