There's nothing college kids love more than returning to college after a long summer away, and no one tells the return-to-college experience better than SpongeBob.

1. Realizing you waited until the last minute, and now you have no time left to pack.

Freshman year you spent weeks packing ahead of time, but now it's not a big deal... Until it's the day before you leave and you realize you have nothing packed.

2. Knowing you have to leave all your hometown friends…

Leaving friends is hard when you spent a whole summer making memories with them.

3. But then remembering that you get to be reunited with all your college friends.

Remember how hard it was to leave your college friends? The reunion will be sweet.

4. Moving into your new places with all new neighbors.

While you got to know a lot of people where you lived last year, now you live by all new people. Time to start from square one.

5. Stopping at every restaurant to eat all the food you missed eating while home for the summer.

New food than what you're used to is one of the best parts about college.

6. Getting excited to start cheering for your school's teams again.

The excitement caused by being in an arena filled with people who are all rooting for the same team is powerful.

7. Knowing you’ll have to start classes soon...

Do we really go to college for the classes?

8. And thinking about having to get your life back together again...

It was nice getting used to a low-stress life during summer.

9. But enjoying Netflix binges until then.

You got a few days until classes start, so why not enjoy them?

10. Lastly, being overall pumped to be back at your second home.


Overall, it's great to be back.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
