New Semester Hype
Whether you are a rising senior or an incoming freshmen, the new semester is a very exciting time. Everyone is refreshed from the rays of the summer sun, and motivated to do well this fall semester. Some things to get super hyped about are:
1. All the welcome back events
I don't know about your school, but my college had some pretty awesome welcome back events! We have a free concert for all university students that have ranged from Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Mac miller, Jason Mraz, and this semester is smallpools! There are also job fairs, RUSH (but we can get into that in another post), bike sales, involvement fairs, and so much more!
2. Getting out of the house
Now I am from Hawaii, and I get island fever very quickly! So being able to go back to the mainland and do so much more with my spare time is liberating! Although spending hours on your couch watching Netflix or the latest binge sounds appealing, there are only a number amount of content you can go through before getting bored. So go out and have an adventure or sit in the quad and meet new people!
3. Meeting New People
Okay, yeah this sounds like some that is geared more towards those who are starting college, but honestly each year I have made new friends. Whether it be from having the same class, new sorority members, or having mutual friends, meeting new people is inevitable and it can branch you out to new things. So take advantage of each and every awkward situation. Question of the day! What are you most excited for about the new semester?
4. NEW SCHOOL SUPPLIES
I am kind of a geek when it comes to school supplies and stationary. I love shopping for a new planner to jot down my sorority events, weekend road trips, and all the assignments in my syllabus. Right now I am super into the minimalist vibe, and all my notebooks, pens, and anything desk related is black, white and light blue. So find what makes you happy because it will help you be more inclined to use it.
5. Adventures
In the past four years that I have been in college, I have not traveled more in my entire life! I would take weekend trips to Vegas, or Disneyland and it would be no big deal. It is all because everything is so close in comparison to flying from Hawaii. I have been all over from Orlando, Florida to Tokyo, Japan. This is all thanks to having vacation time and friends who will go along with your last minute plans. But your adventures do not have to be extravagant. Taking a day trip to go hiking or to the creek, or even a late night run to Sonic are just as fun. As long as you have great company, pretty much anything can be considered 'going on an adventure.'
Regardless of how you feel about the upcoming semester, it really will be what you make of it. You can have a poopy time if you make it a poopy time. If you want to have a kick butt semester, you have to go and make it happen! But always remember that this time is for you. Try new things, go and do something different, and find what it is you love!
