Musings on what's going to happen for the new semester

Sunset Of Summer Vacation
Steve Rotermund

Whether you're a recently graduated high schooler or a college student going back for yet another semester, this is what we're all thinking as we get ready for the upcoming fall semester.

1. Get ready for social suicide. With each new semester of school, the classes get harder, the homework takes more time, and you have less free time to see friends. But hey, you haven't seen your friends for the majority of the summer, and it will be nice to see them again. Hopefully without the drama.

2. Whelp, time to say goodbye to any spending money I had over the summer. No time, no money, more problems. What a joy.

3. For those of you with jobs, whoa, good for you. Your social life is probably going to be even /more/ dead! Congradulations. But hey, at least you're going to have some money coming in. Even if it's not all that much.

4. Wow, I didn't spend my summer vacation actually doing anything. I don't know about you, but I spent the majority of my summer cooped up inside because it was just way too hot. Curse this terrible weather. At least fall is going to be cooler and I can actually go out. Sometimes.

5. Wait, new professors are going to be a thing. I wonder if that one professor from that one class I hated is still teaching? I hope the people in their class do better than I did if that's the case.

6. Wait, wait, it's almost fall. That means there are literally the best holidays coming?? Holy crap, I can't believe Halloween is only two and a half months away- Am I too old for trick or treating?

7. Does this mean that I'm going to have even more friends because I have more classes? Even though I have even less free time?

8. I'm literally so glad that I have an excuse to get out of the house. Being cooped up at home sucks. Even if it is just for school.

9. Hopefully all my friends from last semester that I haven't talked to over the summer are okay. I wonder how many of them aren't going to be here this semester?

10. So glad I'm in college and not high school. I'm a grown adult, and I can honestly say that at least the "best years of my life" are over, because high school was terrible.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
