It's that time to move back to dorm life and leave home life behind! The spring semester is about to start, and most of us have already packed our bags and gotten into the swing of things again. Going back to college is obviously exciting, but the phases of moving back in go somewhat like this...

1. Freedom has been restored!

Proceeds to drop everything in the middle of the room because no one can tell me to clean it up.

2. My roommates are back, so now I won't ever be alone for the next three months.

A bittersweet feeling after the love/hate relationship shared with boredom over break.

3. "So what do you guys want to do tonight?"

***Mentally writes a list of fun and crazy things to do on the first night back***

4. But then everyone is too tired and no one wants to do anything.

5. Realizing that you actually have to spend money and exert energy as a responsible human being again.

Back to cooking, cleaning, buying supplies/spending money on useless things...

6. Missing your bed at home to death.

7. And then missing literally everything from home.

8. Setting incredibly ambitious goals for the new semester.

Stay organized, get straight A's, find a future spouse, stop procrastinating...

9. But the best and final phase is knowing that you're back where you belong, surrounded by great people, experiencing new things every day!
