10 Things I Always Appreciate When I Go Home From College
contactnumbers.co.in

There are always those little things that we always do once we finally get home from college after a long semester. I don't know about y'all, but I am going to go home and do this list of things because there is nothing better than going back and appreciating the simple things like:


1. Eating real food

No explanation needed. Thanks, mom.

2. Holidays

Who doesn't love to gather around the Christmas tree and open presents and appreciate how lucky we are to have such wonderful and dysfunctional families?

3. Laying in my bed

That first night is always the best. Going from a not-so-ideal twin XL to a larger, comfier, more cloud-like bed is perhaps one of the best feelings in the whole world.

4. Going to my favorite coffee shops

Something about local coffee shops will always get me. There is nothing better than being able to properly function under the influence of caffeine and supporting local business at the same time. Bye, Starbs. You're only good because you're .2 seconds from my dorm.

5. Going to work

Okay, so I like my job and I like money. Don't judge me.

6. Wegmans

Freaking Wegmans. If there is a time that I don't go straight there from the airport, please slap me.

7. Family

You can only stand to live with your friends for so long. Family is awesome and you need to appreciate them while you can spend time with them.

8. My dogs

Floofs of joy. That's what they are.

9. Free laundry

$1.85 just to not have trashy, dirty clothes? No, thank you. Free detergent, softener, and (if I'm lucky) someone who will even put my clothes in the dryer once they're finished. Yes, please. #BackHomeBaller (Check out the SNL sketch. It's relatable AF)

10. Friends

Because why wouldn't you want to see your home slices?

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
