I use Google Calendar to organize my academic day for the main reason that it notifies me whenever I have something scheduled (unfortunately my Day Designer does not do that). And as a self-proclaimed procrastinator I know that if I don't have something holding me accountable, I may just not study.
Though-out my entire senior year all I was excited for was college. I was scouring Pinterest reading all about dorm décor and everything me and my new roommate could do together. Roommates on Pinterest are like fairytale prince charming's. They're your best friend, have the exact same taste as you and are the same shoe size!
The one thing I absolutely dreaded about going to college was the bathroom. My parents went to the same college I attend (UMass Amherst), so I constantly tried to pick their brain about different aspects of dorm life. And the bathroom was always a scary topic. My mom warned me about co-ed bathrooms and disgusting showers with freezing water.
When I was finishing up my senior year of high school I feel like all I did was look up pictures of dorms rooms and packing lists on Pinterest. But I felt like every packing list I saw had either an outrageous amount of unnecessary items or was missing a lot of stuff.
Most mornings while I'm at school I find myself running out of my room makeup-less and just feeling sloppy. Before I started at college I would go to bed at 9:30 and wake up at 6. I loved waking up early, eating breakfast, and having time to through a little make-up on my face before I went to school or work. And I swore to myself I was going to keep my schedule like that in college.

Today I'm packing up my parents SUV and heading back to campus. To say I'm excited would be an understatement, but I'm also a little nervous. Last semester I was probably the luckiest freshman alive. I was blessed by the housing gods with my perfect match roommate. Well technically we found each other on Facebook, but you get what I mean.
