13 Things I'd Rather Do Than Go Back To School

I miss school but not the all-nighters.

13 Things I'd Rather Do Than Go Back To School
Carthage College

I do miss college already. I miss studying (I know that's super nerdy to say, but I'm being honest). I miss seeing my friends every day, and I miss being motivated to do work. However, the consecutive all nighters I had to pull during finals' week has scarred me deeply, and I'd rather be on vacation, learning about myself, my interests, and building my resume. Here are thirteen things I'd rather do than go back to school.

1. Traveling the world

Especially third world countries. I'd like to spread the arts such as music and work with organizations to make a difference in at least one community, by cleaning up or something as little as providing clothing or food.

2. Continuing my summer internship/job

3. Making music

Because that is the one thing that has interested me since elementary school! I've had so many phases however, music has always been a constant and I'd like to share my music with other music lovers!

4. Writing about the topics I care about

In the form of poetry, short stories, articles, and novels.

5. Planning

Out my life--present and future, academically and personally.

6. Celebrating the first day of Autumn in Montreal

A goal yet to be achieved!

7. Building my resume

Because I want to learn more and gain experience to secure a better, brighter future with a mentality that is ready to learn and adapt to any complex situation.

8. Learning new languages

Including coding languages!

9. Spending more time with family

I always feel like I'm missing out on family stuff because I'm usually studying in the library, having late classes, or catching up with friends.

10. Learning a new sport

Believe it or not, my siblings are trying to get me to play basketball. I'm more of a volleyball person though.

11. Catching up on the latest dramas

Especially kdramas, because they're so entertaining and have such amazing storylines!

12. Catching up with old friends

Although I have such wonderful new friends, I would love to spend some time catching up with old friends who I sincerely miss.

13. Attending workshops and conferences

In both writing and Computer Science.

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.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.

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.
