With all the excitement of getting back to campus after a long summer break, it’s easy to forget what you’ll unfortunately be returning to in a few weeks: schoolwork. Take a look at some of the thoughts every college girl has the night before class starts.
1. Do I know where my classrooms are?
Especially as a freshman, it’s easy to get lost in the sea of busy students and buildings on your way to class. Make sure to figure out where you need to go a few days before so you aren’t the person staring at Google Maps as you walk straight into a tree.
2. I have to set an alarm for when??
Unless you’ve been working a 9-5 job all summer, there’s no way you’re accustomed to waking up for that early morning class. Nobody wants to think about how soon they’ll be forced to start pressing the snooze button!
3. Are any of my friends in this class?
If you’re lucky enough to be taking a class with some of your friends, you’ll be sure to be texting them about where to meet up so you can walk in together and pretend you aren’t super nervous.
4. Is my outfit ready?
While first-day-of-school outfits may not be the big deal they were in high school, you’ll probably want to look decent for one day before you dive into the rotation of sweatpants and leggings.
5. Do I actually have to start reading the books I just bought?
It’s one thing to search for good deals on Amazon and be proud of how much money you just saved. It’s another thing to actually READ the books.
6. Who will I meet for lunch?
If the answer to #3 is an unfortunate no, you’ll find yourself making lunch plans with your besties to catch up and dish about your new professors.
7. Where’s the party tonight?
With syllabus week comes minimal work and some time to let loose, so you’ll definitely be figuring out where to pregame and head out for the evening before having to set your alarm and start all over again.
