As the end of the semester rolls around the corner and finals are approaching, so does that event that every college kid dreads...moving back home for the summer. Yep, back to being suffocated by your parents, endless hours of boredom, and the loss of ultimate freedom. Ugh, the struggle is definitely real. Here are 10 reasons as to why you should avoid coming home next summer.

1. Receiving a curfew.

Suddenly your parents give you a curfew earlier than what you had in high school. Don't they know that this is when we usually go out on the weekend?

2. No late night food binging.

You're now being judged by your parents for gaining that freshman 15 last semester. If only they understood that mozzarella sticks are completely irresistible. #sorrymom

3. Being judged on how long you decide to stay in bed that day.

Ugh, can't I just have a rest day without you questioning my laziness? Seriously though, we're still recovering from finals.

4. Having no life because your friends are hours away.

Besides being forced to work everyday, and binge watching Scream Queens, you are bored for hours on end. So bored that you volunteer to do the grocery shopping just for a small taste of freedom.

5. Being driven everywhere by your parents.

Because nothing is more embarrassing than being dropped off at a party in your dad's Subaru Outback.


6. Feeling awkward drinking in front of your parents even though you're 21.

Nothing is worse than feeling the stares of your parents pierce your soul as you take that first sip of a beer in front of them. If only they knew...

7. Being bombarded with questions about your future.

No, I don't know what I'm going to do with my life. Yes, I know it will be hard getting a job with my major. Do I regret it? Eh maybe... just stop asking I'm getting stressed out.


8. Having to ask permission to do everything.

Can I see a movie tonight? I promise I'll be back by that unreasonably early curfew you've given me. And yes, I promise I'm actually going to the movies this time...


9. Being forced to keep a clean room.

How dare they tell me how to live my life.

10. Counting down the days until summer is over.

Yes, only one more week!


Please, please, PLEASE just get me back to college!

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.

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.
