Thoughts College Students Have When Break is Over

When school is about to be back in session, or perhaps it has already started for you, a few thoughts go through our minds. Everything from panic, excitment, to pure nervousness- college providdes us with all of these things, sometimes at different times or all at once.

"Do I need all of these books?"

"How long can I get away with not buying these books?"

"If I wait too long to buy books, I'm going to have to give in a spend too much money at the bookstore."

"If there's 25 people in my class, will my professorreally notice if I'm not there?"

"Where is the best place to sit if I plan on napping a little?"


"I wonder if 'insert name here' missed me over break?"

"I definietly didn't miss him/her."


"Syllabus week is also the week where I replace classes I find too hard."

"Let's hope none of the classes I drop are major requirements."

"Should I have a minor at this point?"

"Should I know what I want to do with my degree?"

"What even is my degree again?"


"I wonder how much I'm paying for one class."

"I'm going to do the math."

"Just kidding, I really don't want to cry so early on in the semester."

"Speaking of money, how much have I spent on my higher education already?"

"Ya, I need to change the topic."


"I better see lots of dogs on campus."

"I love dogs."

"How long can I go wearing the same pair of yoga pants?"

"I wonder if anyone can tell I didn't shower today."

"I'm not wearing real clothes this semester."

"Unless I go out. Then I'm borrowing real clothes from friends."


"I should've worked more over break."

"Why did break go by so fast?"

"How will I manage work and school AND play??"

"I've done it before, I can do it again."

"Or can I??"



"I am calm, cool, and collective."

"I am definitely not calm, but I am a good pretender."

"I shall survive this."

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Syllabus Week As Told By Kourtney Kardashian

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.
