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."
