Why Going Back To School Is Actually Less Stressful

As the weather starts to get less hot and humid, and the office supply section triples in size, you know that it is close to time to head back to school. For most people, this is something that is dreaded. Trading late nights for early mornings and days by the pool for days in class. However, going back to homework isn't all that bad. In all reality most people enjoy the routine that the summer just cannot provide. People can get into a structured schedule and it allows for you to be significantly more productive. Plus the social aspect of returning to your friends at school is enjoyable. If you're a person like me, you tend to be happier during the school year simply because you have stuff to occupy your time. As much as I love summer, it is in a way nice to have something to do other than lay around all day. The structure and routine of the day to day life of school is helpful to people who have anxiety or just do not do well without something to keep their thoughts busy. During the summer, it is pretty easy to just choose to do nothing, but in the school year there are likely significantly more obligations that have to be made and these all take up time. It is usually easier for people to stick to diets or workout plans while in school, simply because having a more scheduled life makes it less hard to squeeze it into a time slot. So even though the thought of going back to class might kind of stink, there is a benefit to it. Having more structure in your schedule and world in general can make even a hectic life somewhat easier.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
