Walking into your first class ready to read that syllabus…

But as soon as the professor starts talking you realize why you were so over school by the time the semester ended.

Once you finish reading the syllabus, you think you won’t start doing actual work because hey, it’s the first day…

Except you sit there taking more notes than you did all of last semester.

You mentally get prepared to go out every night with your friends…

But you forget how exhausting it is going to class all day. 

You make the attempt to get dressed every day…

You quickly realize sweatpants are where the heart is.

You tell yourself you’re dedicated to eating healthy this semester…

Until you remember the school has a milkshake machine.

Hang in there, Seawolves.
