With summer slowly slipping away, college creeps closer and closer. Going back to school is both exciting and emotional. Tears will most definitely be shed in memory of the sleep you will lose. Many people will be grieving the loss of that beloved friend, "rest". But on the plus side, you will have something to tweet about once again!

Packing becomes a puzzle, with pieces that fit only one way. And dagnabbit, everything WILL fit. Do I need that many pairs of shoes? Heck to the yes, I do. Throw another pair of strappy sandals in the glove compartment. I don't need leg room, I need those flats!
New beginnings and fresh starts come with new resolutions to study harder, grow stronger, and workout more. Oh, and spend less money on glowsticks and hula hoops. Maybe that's just me?
The important thing about returning to your university is that you remember why you are there. While the parties, all-nighters, and ramen dinners are all great reasons for excitement, each year is a new opportunity to make something of yourself. It's a chance to get that internship for your resume, work a little bit harder than the next person, take strides in the right direction...all these things matter more in the big picture. Everything else? Those are just small pictures.
It's like decorating your apartment. You hang different sized canvas on each wall. Each colorful picture adds something to the overall look, but the eye naturally goes to the largest image. So it will be after college. The things that matter the most, the steps that take you toward your dream career..Those stand out the most. All of the little pictures, the fun times and lost sleep, make the experience whole, decorating your character and your memories.
