10 Signs You Know You Are Ready To Go Back To College

Well, the day is finally here. You are ready to go back to college after a long winter vacation. Vacation is fantastic, and it is wonderful to be home with family and see high school friends, but sometimes, it might feel a little too long, if you know what I'm saying. Break makes you miss college, and college makes you miss the break. Here are 10 ways you know it's time to go back:

1. Your parents' kindness wears off on you.

I mean, seriously! How are they so kind all of the time? How are my parents so amazing? They make me breakfast and treat me out to ice cream and dinner. I'm not nearly as kind as they are! The struggles.

2. There are so many shops in your hometown and you can't pick which ones you want to squeeze in going to before you go back. When you got home, it was fun to choose. Now? It's just too complicated.

Ugh, it's so hard to decide! Do I go to an ice cream shop? Which one? out of four? So many possibilities! Too many choices of entertainment!

3. You have so many incredible high school friends that ask you to hang out, and you really want to see all of them! But it becomes hard to fit in!

Yet, I still make it work. Because I love my friends. Thank you all for being amazing! I'll miss you when I go back!

4. You get bored at home doing nothing. Sigh.

And you worked so hard at school! Now you have nothing to do? At the beginning of break, that freedom was great! Now? Oh, let me think about it actually. It's still great!

5. You finish taking a winter course online and have two days of freedom. WHAT DO I DO?

All this freedom is so confusing. What the heck do I do? I actually have to enjoy the last weekend that I'm home and socialize with my awesome parents for two days? What?

6. Your parents start to annoy you with profound advice.

I hate when they are right.

7. Your mom says that she will miss you when you leave!

Gosh, mom! Don't make me emotional!

8. You miss the dining hall food.

Okay, I'm not even going to pretend this is the truth! My mom and dad's cooking? Way better than the food at college!

9. You miss your college friends.

But there are so many ways now to communicate with friends! Through Facebook, texting; there are numerous ways to stay in touch!

10. You start thinking about your next semester schedule.

Oh no, here we go again.

When you think about it, being at home with your parents is amazing. Sure, they can get on your nerves from time to time, but they are always going to be there for you. I'm so blessed to be able to hang out with my incredible parents. Thank you for all you do.

To everyone going back to school, good luck! And to my parents who have had me at home for the past four and a half weeks, thank you for everything you have done for me.

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.

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.
