10 Things That Happen When You Stay At College During Break

It's only a couple of days, I can handle this... right?

When break rolls around, everyone gets excited to finally go back home to be with their friends and family. You have waited for the time to come during the semester that allows you to just take a break from all the madness of your classes, even if it is just for a couple of days. Yet, some people (such as myself) either choose to stay or don't have the luxury to go back home during the short break. With that being said, here are 10 things that happen when you stay at school during break.

1. You feel like you're the only person left.

Things do get strangely quiet to the point where you feel like the world is ending.

2. You watch your friends back home on Snapchat getting lit without you.

No, seriously, it's totally okay you all got together without me. Just remember, it couldn't have been that great because I truly am the life of the party.

3. You miss your family more than you thought you would.

If your family is anything like mine, they get on your nerves so easily. But you can't help but miss them sometimes.

4. And you miss your hometown (even though you complained about it for your entire life).

I think just seeing everyone all excited about being home on social media really brings to light the fact that you do miss your hometown.

5. You slowly realize you made a bad decision to stay.

You think to yourself, "It's really only a couple of days, I can so handle this" (but, deep down, you really can't).

6. You're now counting the days until your next break.

You're not making the same mistake. Nope, go home. Do. It.

7. You realize your favorite place on campus where you get lunch every single day isn't open.

How am I going to survive? Seriously.

8. All you do is sleep.

What? Like you have any better ideas on how I should use up my time.

9. Oh, and stuff your face.

No one is here to judge you!

10. You FaceTime everyone back home to make it feel like you're there.

The FaceTime will usually last for hours until they get sick of you and hang up.

You will get through the break, I promise. It just may be a little harder than you thought it was going to be in the first place. But don't worry because the intensity and stress of school will come back in no time; along with the people that vanished.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
