Metaphors and phrases for new academic year

Good day and welcome to fall semester!  I have often compared the beginning of the academic year to those moving sidewalks that you experience in large airports — You’re just walking along at your normal pace, and you hit the sidewalk and BOOM you’re moving twice as fast. 

So, I thought it might be a fun exercise to hear what other metaphors or phrases you use to describe your experience of going from the relative quiet of summer to the explosion of activity with the academic year. Comment away!
