11 Things That I Won't Miss About College

With graduation just around the corner, seniors are starting to get emotional and nostalgic. We're all sad to be leaving behind a place that's become our home over the past few years, and the friends who have become our family. But, rather than focusing on what we don't want to leave behind, let's take a moment to celebrate the fact that there are also annoying things about college that we won't have to put up with anymore.

Here is a list of all of the things that won't be missed by graduating seniors:

1. Putting off doing laundry because the washing machines and dryers are a) gross b) always full unless it's the dead of night and c) only work like 43% of the time.


2. Wearing shoes in the shower.

Or just the dirty dorm showers in general. Freshman year, I yawned in the shower and a bug flew into my mouth (true story).

3. Getting sick from the food after a long break because your body hasn't "adjusted" to it yet.


4. Having to eat bananas that are either too ripe or not ripe enough because that's all the dining hall ever has.


5. Getting sick every time someone in your hall gets sick.


6. People that say stupid things during class discussions.

"Really? Peru's in South America?"

Really? You're in college?

7. Wifi that always seems to stop working as soon as you have to write a research paper or video chat with your grandma.


8. Sleeping on a mattress topper.

One of two things happen when you try to fall asleep: it's impossible to get comfortable, or the thing starts sliding off your bed and you have to keep readjusting it.

9. People that act like they're still in high school.


10. The overwhelming panic and stress that finals week brings every year.

11. People throwing up EVERYWHERE.

And puke sitting in trash cans, water fountains, or sinks for days on end, stinking up the halls.

To all of these things we say, goodbye and good riddance.

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.
