11 Struggles Of Being Seperated From Your College BFF's For The Summer
Jordyn Smith

The spring semester is finally coming towards an end, but you're now realizing that you and your squad are no longer going to be spending every day together like you have been for the past two semesters. Whether it be conflicting leasing periods or summer jobs, It takes a lot of adjustment to realize that for the next four months of summer, your friends won't be with you for every moment of the day. We don’t realize how much time we actually spend surrounded by our best friends until we get home for summer. Here are some of the troubles we face when we no longer have our best friends by our side on the reg.

1. You're wardrobe becomes infinitely smaller because you're no longer able to borrow from all your friends closets.

2. You begrudgingly do fun things with other people, knowing that everything would be a billion times more fun with your absent biffles.

3. You no longer have someone forcing you out of bed to get ready to go out even though you're still hungover from the night before.

4. Who will you eat IHOP with at midnight on a Monday?

5. You become a slightly more responsible drinker because you no longer have a designated caretaker.

6. You realize that your group chat is slowly dying down.

7. But then it starts back up again as you fill your bff's in on every single detail of life at home.



8. You frequently get the urge to let every social media outlet know how much you miss your squad.



9. You'll have to find a new bed to crawl into when you feel upset over that one guy.



10. FaceTime becomes an almost daily thing.



11. Realizing it's okay, because when you finally reunite, it'll be well worth the wait.

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.

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.

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.
