Back to school time is here, and for most college students it's a bitter sweet occasion. Summer is officially over, but so many new and exciting adventures and experiences are ahead of us. Between getting up early, sitting through long and tedious classes, and taking care of yourself all alone once again, the first week back is always a crazy one to say the least. Whether you started school last week, this week, or are getting ready to start in the weeks to come here are some situations I think most college students can relate to told by characters that we all know and love so much.
Waking up for those dreaded 8 a.m. classes.
After completely messing up our sleeping schedules over summer, waking up early is not ideal for any college student. Plus, we all know we are bound to say something stupid before the coffee kicks in.
Getting to class and seeing a cute boy(or girl) sitting in front of you
What you think you're about to say...
What actually comes out of your mouth..
As smooth as you think you may be, it's time to face the fact that you're actually not.
When the professor starts going over the 12 page syllabus
At this point you are seriously questioning why you signed up for this class. Actually, you're contemplating why you even went to college in the first place.
"Have any of you had the chance to look over your textbook this summer?"
Textbooks were probably the last thing on our mind this summer, so no I have no clue what paragraph in chapter two you're talking about.
When the professor switches from the syllabus to Lecture #1 on the first day
The worst possible feeling is when everyone starts packing up their things after the syllabus has been covered and then suddenly the professor pulls up a powerpoint titled "Lecture 1". It's like having all your hopes and dreams crushed like a little tiny bug.
When you just rolled out of bed and pass a girl who looks like she just stepped out of New York Fashion Week
I often wonder how some people have the energy to not only wake up extremely early, but also look so well put together. Because, it takes me a while just to appear like I wasn't just run over by a bus.
Stumbling back home after a long day of classes
You can try to convince yourself all you want that you're okay, but inside you know that a mental break down is not far around the corner because you are exhausted in every way possible.
Finally, it's the weekend!
You survived the first week back to school! So, go out and celebrate, and dance like Chandler Bing!
