16 Things College Made You Forget Are Innapropriate This Break

They may be okay at school, but back at home they certainly are not.

As winter break is right around the corner, it is important to remember what is and isn't appropriate when going home. Here is a list of some things college has made us forget are actually very inappropriate:

1. Walking everywhere

At school all your friends live within a two block radius of you and it's easy to forget that there is this thing called a car which one sometimes has to use to go see people.

2. Going out on a Thursday night

Don't forget that Thursday is actually a weekday.... and that Wednesday is too.

3. Wearing one of your sorority's t-shirts for every outfit

We all love to rep our letters, but break is not the time to unleash your "Sratty" side.


4. Same goes for wearing your favorite fraternity's shirts

Your hometown doesn't need to be aware for your extremely high groupie status

5. Groupme- A simple text message will do just fine

Don't be alarmed when your group chats are constantly "poppin'" off


6. Having empty glass alcohol bottles as home decorations

And yes I'm even talking about the bedazzled champagne bottle your best friend gave you for your birthday

7. 2:00 a.m. donut runs

These should be especially reserved for only the highest quality donuts, slo-do-co, of course.

8. Wine bags

Because in the real world, wine comes in a bottle not a bag. And no, you can not slap the bottle.


9. Leaving dirty dishes in the sink for consecutive days

Because no on wants their mom thinking she raised an epic failure. And, no, paper plates and plastic silverware are not the answer.

10. Themed parties

Parties are most likely not themed at home (but if they are for sure, let me know) It's OK to leave the costume box at school.


11. Beer Die

While we all know your totally frat star friends have amped up the traditional drinking game because they are just so sophisticated, I promise good ol' BP will do for a while.

12. Drinking excessive amounts of caffeine

Drinking multiple cups of coffee a day at home is not normal. And at home you actually have to pay for Starbucks. Meal plans aren't a thing in the real world.


13. "Rage"

At home its an emotion, at school it's a verb. Don't get them confused.

14. Referring to "the party houses" in code

Unlike at school, at home you can't just refer to a house by the first three numbers of its address and expect everyone to know what house you're talking about.

15. Wearing heels to a party

Just don't do it, trust me.


16. Assuming you can just Venmo people

We have gotten too comfortable with leaving our wallet at home and assuming we can just send money via Venmo if we need to. While at home this break you should probably bring your debit card.

If you want your parents to actually let you go back to school after break, remember to steer clear of these habits while you're home.

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.

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.
