1. Waking Up Before Noon
We just had four weeks off of 8:00 a.m. classes and early practices where we got to sleep in and wake up at lunch time. But now we're back to morning classes and no more sleeping in, unfortunately.
2. Breaking the Bank for Textbooks
Another semester begins and that means time to shell out a couple hundred bucks for textbooks you probably won't look in at all anyway.
3. Getting into your new “Routine”
While you were home, you had your schedule of sleeping in and basically nothing else unless you had to work. But now you have to figure out when you have class and when you can make time for the gym or practice, and all the other things you have to get back into your routine.
4. Flip Flop Showers
If you still live on campus now you have to say goodbye to the luxury of your own bathroom at home and those glorious no-flipflop showers you had for the past month.
5. What’s a Home Cooked Meal?
Whether you still live on campus or you have your own place, there's no more mom's home cooked meals at school. It's either back to crappy dining hall food, or you're on your own making grilled cheeses and frozen pizza.
6. I Forgot it's Winter....
We left for break and sure it was cold, but coming back upstate to the winter tundra where a nice day is above 12 degrees is NOT something we are excited for.
7. Back To Taking the Bus
If you're lucky you get to have your car at school, but some people aren't so lucky - which means if they need a simple trip to Walmart it's going to take 2 hours just to get there after waiting for the bus and all the effort that goes into it.
8. Bye-Bye $$$
You spent most of break either sleeping, hanging out with your friends from home, or probably working to replenish your funds you blew first semester. But now your back and you can kiss all the money you made goodbye.
9. Studying/HW
Don't have to say much about this. Studying, homework, research papers, lectures, and all that fun stuff is back - and it blows.
10. Say Goodbye to Privacy
Back to living in a tiny dorm room with your roommate where you can hold hands when laying in bed. Lack of privacy is probably something you are used to but it sucks to go back into it. Everyone is in everyone's business.
