The Emotional Stages of Listening to "Hello" by Adele

If you haven't heard Adele's new song "Hello, listen here and feel all the feelings you never even knew you had. It's an emotional roller coaster.

Stage 1: Hearing the song for the first time and internally combusting.

Adele is officially back and better than ever with her new single. It's like she knew you needed to cry about a boy for a little while so she put this song out specifically for you.

Stage 2: Listening to it again because you were too busy screaming and crying to fully appreciate the song the first time around.

The first time through you really didn't even hear the lyrics in all the excitement, so you play "Hello" again and really soak it all in, in all its emotional, heartfelt glory.

Stage 3: Wondering where on earth Adele has been the past 3 years.

I just have so many questions. Where did Adele go? Why did she abandon us like that? Has she been planning this incredible song the whole time? Can I be Adele's best friend?

Stage 4: Watching the music video and really feeling the whole sepia/flip-phone vintage vibe.

For some strange reason I kind of miss my Razor flip phone. Thanks, Adele.

Stage 5: Hearing "Hello" on the radio and making all of your friends shut up so you can enjoy it and sing along.

"Can we talk about what you're wearing to semi-formal after this song, please? Adele is important!"

Stage 6: Re-listening to all of Adele's old songs and questioning how you've survived the past 3 years without her.

How did I forget all about "21"? Why do I not listen to "Chasing Pavements" every single second of every day?

Stage 7: Thinking about who it could possibly be that Adele called that wouldn't call her back.

If Adele ever calls you on the phone, you answer. The end.

Stage 8: Crying and feeling like calling your 7th-grade boyfriend to tell him you miss him.

*Looks-up boy on Facebook I haven't seen since 2008* *Cries*

Stage 9: Crying some more because you realize Adele's new CD is coming out in November.

My body is ready. I've spent the last 3 years mentally and emotionally preparing for this. I just need to stock up on tissues. Bring it on, Adele.

Stage 10: Feeling whole again because Adele is officially back.

Just give her all the Grammy's already, what are we even waiting for?

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.
