Thoughts all College Students Have Coming Back to College

pexels

It’s almost that time for college classes to be back into full swing and for all of the college kids to move back into their apartments or dorm rooms. Let’s be honest, college is great the first couple weeks… and the weekends aren’t that bad. Some college students will be happy to be back, and some not so much. But they will for sure agree with most of the things below, if not all of them.

Move in Day:

YAY! I get to see all of my friends and have a blast. I can’t wait to see everyone. I am going to make sure I wear a super cute outfit because I am going to take a hundred pictures. I just can’t wait to see everyone. I’ll unpack later.

Night Before Classes:

I have a book bag full of supplies, a binder for every class. I have a nice outfit for tomorrow to wear. I’m totally ready for this year.

Day One of Classes:

Well, at least it’s syllabus week! But this whole going to class thing is already getting old and it is day one. Well, it’s not that bad yet. And I get to see who is in all of my classes. Plus, did I mention it’s syllabus week... That means I can stay up all night talking and partying with my friends and have zero cares in the world right now.

Day Three of Classes:

Yeah, I’m over these classes… Can I skip already or is that frowned upon? The teacher may not have even noticed I was here the other day so she won’t really miss me if I don’t show up.

First Weekend Back:

PARTY. PARTY. PARTY. PARTY. PARTY. Late night fast food run. PARTY. PARTY. PARTY.

Sunday before Week Two of Classes:

What. Happened. To. The. Weekend? Also, what happened this weekend…?

Week Three of Classes:

I have completely given up all hope of making it through this semester. I have one pencil left for the whole semester. I have all 5 pairs of sweatpants for the week laid out. I have zero ambition to do any work. My cell phone battery is always at like 40% I swear. I spent all the money I saved over summer so I am going to eat one piece of popcorn everyday till the end of the semester. I’m over it. So over it and I have like 3.5 months left… I’m dropping out.

5 Untold Struggles Of The Short Friend

It's not always fun being fun-sized!

Appalachian State University National Writers Society

I'm the Short Friend. I've been the Short Friend since about the seventh grade. I'm the one who stands in the front of the photos, gets made fun of for their height, and still shops in the kids department.

This article is not for the Almost Short Friends, i.e. the 5'3" and 5'4" Friends. No no, this is for the Actually Short Friends, i.e. the Barely Scraping 5'1" and shorter Short Friends.

11 Things All Call Center Workers Can Empathize With Better Than Anyone

Youtube

This semester I started my journey as a member of my University's Alumni Outreach Team. This means a lot of things, but primarily it means that I get to make phone calls to parents and alumni two nights a week to update contact information, collect things like business cards and volunteer hours, and even ask for money.

We get it — we're frustrated with you, too.

1. When they go out of their way to help you.

2. When they are cleaning up a section of the store.

3. When they deal with your children being heathens.

4. When they listen intently to your coupon problems.

5. When they ask you about opening a credit card or rewards card.

6. When you have to wait to get an item number or to talk to a manager.

It's not always fun being fun-sized!

1. Not wearing makeup is like stepping in a time machine

2. "Wow, how tall are you?!"

3. You don't realize how much you're craning your neck until you talk to someone as short as you.

4. Hugging your friends is just asking for a face full of boob for you and makeup on their shirt for them. Awkward.

5. You face retail discrimination

Details the INFJ may not have wanted to let you know about.

1. Their moral compass is the strongest bone in their bodies

2. They like getting a mild cold

3. They can only make one new friend at a time

4. They can only be leaders if they're experts on the topic

5. You know what too nice means: Fake

6. Their creativity comes out in strange bouts

7. They like heavily emotional stories

8. They experience a different kind of tired

9. Structure and routine is the name of the game

10. They are sensitive little creatures

11. They love to love

12. Yup, they’re the mom of the friend group

It's a daily struggle to make it on time, but everyone has those days where they just...don't.

1. "Oh, crap..."

2. "Is it worth it?"

3. "Why is this room so cold?"

4. "Does this professor grade attendance?"

5. "Can I wear my pajamas to class?"

6. "Do I have time to brush my teeth?"

6. "Shoot, I didn't finish my homework..."

7. "What's the weather supposed to be today?"

8. "Will the bus be on time?"

9. "How can I enter the room in the least obtrusive way possible?"

10. "WHY didn't anyone leave a seat on the end in case someone came late?!"

11. "Does this professor hate me now?"

12. "I'll be early next class..."

Getting hung up on is my super power.

1. The first call is the hardest

2. Getting hung up on before you say something

3. People don't live forever

4. It's exhausting

5. Getting hung up on the second you say where you're calling from

6. People will say anything to get you off the phone

7. Voicemails are weird

8. No one cleans out their mailbox

9. Pronouncing names correctly can be hard

10. People are mean

11. Some calls make it worth it
