Fall semester is right around the corner. Whether your summer involved being home, camp, a trip abroad, or an internship, we are all leaving something behind. It is hard to have such a routine for nearly three months and adjust to going back to school. But, once we leave our summer behind, we have the promise of a new school year to look forward to. Here are 10 thoughts we all have before going back up to school.
1. OMG how am I expected to do school work.
You have had a long break from a full semester of classes. It will definitely be an adjustment.
2. I'm leaving my parents again.
This thought brings mixed emotions. On one hand, you are so excited to have your freedom back. On the other hand, you know you will really miss your parents and all that they do for you.
3. Ugh, how am I ever going to leave?!
Whether you are coming from camp, a trip abroad, or wherever you spent your summer, you can't imagine leaving right now. This place has grown so comfortable for so long.
4. Tailgate season is so soon.
You have been waiting all year for this.
5. How am I going to go out?!
Going out at school takes a lot of energy. It is crazy and sweaty, and you don't know how your body will be able to handle it.
6. I'm not ready for real life.
The end of a summer marks that you are that much closer to real life. Approaching another year of school means that you have to start figuring out what your plan is.
7. New year, new me.
Before every school year starts, we all have an idea of who we want to be heading into the new year. There are always aspirations of working out, eating clean, or developing better study habits. Hopefully, we can actually follow through with these ideas this year.
8. Do I have to meet new people?
A new school year brings new people, whether they join your sorority or you have a class with them. It is time to practice your social skills and put yourself out there.
9. Okay, here we go.
Going back to school is inevitable, and you prepare the best way you can. Just make the best out of it and enjoy the year!
