Time to crack open those bird law textbooks, it's time to go back to school!

1. Rolling out of bed for the first day of classes like

Break flew by like it was all jacked up on fight milk.

2. Trying to find a parking spot on campus

Giphy

Gotta pay the troll toll to park inside this...car hole?

3. Seeing all the happy and nervous freshmen on campus

Giphy

Their excitement only drains the energy from those of us that are just trying to make it through another year.

4. Walking into a class full of said excited freshmen

Giphy

Watching freshmen take notes on everything during syllabus week brings back a sense of nostalgia but also annoyance. Please, put the color-coded pens away, it's the first day.

5. When the instructor has everyone do an introduction on the first day

Giphy

"I'm a senior, my major is crushing me, and I have no idea why I'm only just now taking this 100-level pre-req as a senior."

6. Seeing other seniors zombie-ing their way across campus

Giphy

There's something comforting about being able to stand in solidarity with other exhausted upperclassmen.

7. Finding a place to chill between classes like:

Giphy

I am just trying to find a place where I can eat my questionable leftovers between classes in PEACE!

8. When someone on campus asks what your plans are after graduation

Giphy

Please don't ask me about my future I am so stressed out.

9. When people ask how you're working full time and taking a full credit load

Giphy

Not sleeping also helps.

10. Going home after the first day of classes

Giphy

Yes, getting back into a school routine is nice but also the thought of another semester of stress is going to take some getting used too

11. When you realize you've got two semesters left before you have to start paying off your loans

Giphy

The future is LOOMING OVER ME

12. Helping your friends cope with the same stress on top of senioritis

Giphy

Rum ham perhaps?

13. Deciding to make the most of your last year of college

Giphy

To all the seniors reading this: don't stress too much this year and just have fun, ya jabroni!
