Things I'm NOT Looking Forward To This School Year

The bitter truth.

Things I'm NOT Looking Forward To This School Year
Odyssey

Everyone seems to be pretty stoked about coming back to college, as they should be. College provides so many exciting experiences, and gives you so many life lessons. With that being said, it does have its downsides. Instead of giving you a list of all the classic cliche things I'm looking forward to this year I thought it would be much more realistic to give you a list of all the things I'm dreading this sophomore year.

1. 8 a.m. classes

For some odd reason I thought it would be wise to suffer through an early class, not just any class mind you, Computational Problem-solving! Send prayers please.

2. Cooking

First off I'm happy to be off a meal plan solely because of the money saving aspect... But what is cooking? For real? I think I've got the whole eating part down.

3. SleepDeprivation

There is no such thing as sleep during college. Just many, many, many, power naps.

4. Homework

Need I say more?

5. Socializing

As great as it is to see all my friends and meet new people, it gets exhausting. I'm tired just thinking about it. I've resorted to shutting myself in my room, laying in fetal position, Netflixing.

6. Mental Breakdowns

These have become such a daily part of my routine that I've actually started putting them in my calendar. Not kidding.

7. Lack of Motivation

I'm a very motivated person, as long as there's food and or money involved. Therefore being in college = no motivation.

This list doesn't mean that I'm not excited for the school year, it just means I'm human.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
