The First Week Back To College (As Told With Quotes From Your Favorite TV Shows)

The first week back to school after summer break is always tough. Waking up early, actually doing work, and experiencing homesickness always takes some adjustment time. As you are binge-watching Netflix (procrastinating already), you notice that some of your favorite shows summarize the back-to-school situation pretty well. Here are some beginning-of-semester sentiments we have all experienced as told by beloved TV personalities.

1. Arriving to that first lecture... at 8 a.m.

Because why would it make sense to get a decent nights sleep?

2. Trying to convince yourself that you will go to the gym this semester.

Why go to the gym when you can walk to the front door to get that pizza you just ordered.

3. Getting stuck in a front-row seat of your 100-student lecture class.

Now you really have to pay attention since the professor will most likely call on you.

4. When instructors are switched around last-minute.

We strategically pick our classes based on the teacher, so when they switch it last minute it seems like the school is saying a big F you.

5. Collapsing in your dorm or apartment after a long day.

18 credits, work, and trying to manage a social life is never easy. But going to bed is a piece of cake.

6. Reuniting with your friends you haven't seen all summer.

Seeing your best friends from college is the best feeling ever. You can pick up where you left off and start a whole new year of shenanigans

Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

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.
