You have survived another year. Finals week is over, the stress of classes has been lifted off your shoulders, all that is left is to pack up your dorm and head home for summer. Here are some thoughts you’ll probably have.

When you arrive home and have to make it known to everyone that you are back.


You can’t wait to see your family again and catch up with what’s going on in their lives and share with them all the exciting things you’ve done while you away at college.You'll never admit it to them that you missed them, but let's be honest you did and are excited to spend the summer with them. At first it will be a little weird because you've been gone awhile but you'll adjust back quickly, just like you never left.

.

You’ll realize how much you missed your mom’s cooking

.

You won’t be able to get enough before you have to leave it to go back the university's cafeteria food or late night taco bell runs. You'll probably gain an extra 10 pounds from your mom fattening you up this summer.

You won't want to leave your own bed every again.

You will probably spend half your summer here catching up on sleep from all those all-nighters.

Get as much sleep while you can, because you know when classes start you won't be getting any.

Seeing your old friends in the grocery store will make you remember old times.


You’ll probably ask them what’s new in their life and how their college life was like. You'll make plans to hang out this summer like you guys used to, and take over the town once again. You'll show those high school kids, that thought they did while you were gone, that you're back and was here first.

Realizing you have no money and have to start looking for a summer job.


You might want to start saving up money for when you back to college. You’ll probably be able to bum money off your parents for a while but eventually they'll tell you to get a job. Try getting an outside job so you can still enjoy the sun and work on your tan, like a lifeguard at the local pool.


Seeing your ex around town.


Oh yes you probably forgot about him coming home. If you ant to make him jealous start talking about your amazing new boyfriend at college or you can get the dark sunglasses and hood ready or find the nearest bush. If you're lucky he might not even remember you, but you probably won't be. Good luck.

When you start missing your friends at college


Your late night food runs, study sessions, and movie nights. You would do anything to be back with you main girls right now. Don't worry you don't have much longer to go till you see them again.

Then summer finally comes to a close and you couldn’t be happier to back in your college town and take on another year.


Finally you're reunited with your friends and you're ready to take on another year of all-nighters, taco bell runs, and dreaded classes. At least until summer when you head back to your hometown once again.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
