Enroll in some classes you want to take or classes that will bring you closer to graduation. Some students get excited about the classes they will be taking and the benefits that will result. Enrolling in beneficial classes will let you feel some of the excitement.
Find out about social events that you will enjoy. There are many to choose from. Consider asking your department or any campus organizations you belong to if they will be hosting a social event at the beginning of the semester. Plan on attending as many as possible so you can get to know people at your school who share your interests. If you can't find any you want to attend, consider hosting your own.
Sign up for clubs, volunteer opportunities and campus organizations. Networking will boost your self esteem and bring excitement throughout the semester.
Spend some money. Whether you're buying books, art supplies, a new laptop or new wardrobe, chances are a little shopping will get you excited. The new semester is often the perfect time for some retail therapy because you'll likely have financial aid overflow and you can justify some splurges. If splurges are out of the question, you'll still need to buy some essentials.
Pack for college. This is often the first step in realizing you are headed back to school for another semester and causes many students to get excited.
Count the days till the end of the semester. It is exciting to know that another semester will be over before you know it.
Try out a new look or invest in your back-to-school appearance. Returning to school looking good will give you an entrance to be excited about. Consider a new haircut or new lipstick color. Simply dressing up for the first day back can get you excited.
Return to school with your friends. It is always easier to get excited when you can borrow excitement from others. Chances are a group of returning college students can come up with plenty of reasons to be excited over the return.
