11 Things College Students Say And Do When They Come Home

College is undeniably one of the best experiences any person can have, however, sometimes it's nice to get away from the chaos of it all. Some college students go away strictly on long breaks such as winter and fall break, but others, go back for long weekends. The funny part of it all, is all the little things the college students do or say when they're back home.

1. No more shower shoes! No more shower shoes!

Probably the best thing that happens off campus.

2. Wait, there's actual food?

Let's be real, we all appreciate a good home cooked meal.

3. Sleep

Getting more than five hours of sleep on campus is unheard of.

4. Attacking pets with affection

Some cry and some immediately drop to the floor to play with their furry friends.

5. What curfew?

Many of us students go back to our childhood home, and sometimes that comes with rules we are used to not having, including curfew. I have to be back at what time now?

6. Where's my roommate?

Majority of us college students have a roommate on campus, but at home we have our own rooms! But who are we supposed to say weird stuff to at 2 am?

7. Friends

We all freak out and can't wait to see our friends back home, but immediately miss our friends back on campus.

8. Where's the 3 am delivery?

College campus' are surrounded with awesome places that delivery crazy late, or early depending on how you look at it!

9. Driving

Sometimes taking a car to college isn't always easy... so you leave it at home. Your car becomes your new best friend. Goodbye walking and constantly sore legs!

10. Family

As much as they get on our nerves, when it comes down to it, we love and miss them.

11. I miss campus....

Before we know it we want to go back.

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.
