18 Reasons Why I'm Looking Forward To Moving Back Home
Pinterest

In two short weeks, I will be moving out of my dorm room at Bowling Green State University and back into my room at home. I am very excited for many reasons:

1. A full size bed

Finally, I will be sleeping in my queen size bed again where I can stretch out and not worry about smacking the wall with my arm.

2. An un-lofted bed

I am so sick of climbing up into my bed and climbing down from my bed. It is a miracle I haven't fallen from my lofted bed yet. I am glad that I will be close to the ground again.

3. A bigger room

My room at home is twice the size of my dorm room and it's just me in there.

4. No roommate

I have a great roommate now, but I can't wait until I'm alone in my room. I won't need earbuds to watch Netflix on my laptop or play music. I can have the lights on late and make as much noise as I want.

5. My own bathroom

I was lucky enough to have a dorm with a bathroom in it, but it's not the same as having your own bathroom at home.

6. My DVR

I have so many shows and movies recorded on my DVR at home and I can't watch them at school.

7. My Cable

My college has cable, but it's nothing compared to my cable at home. Like, how am I suppose to watch the Detroit Tigers play if I can't even get the channel at school?!

8. Healthy Food

In my room at home, I won't have instant access to snacks so I will be forced to eat healthier. The temptation of junk food will disappear.

9. My WiFi

No more logging into the school's wifi. No more worrying if someone is going to hack into my personal accounts over the school wifi. No more using unreliable wifi.

10. My car is right outside my house

I won't have to walk 10 minutes to my car anymore, it will be parked right outside my house.

11. Laundry

I won't have to worry about having my laundry stolen if it stays in the washer or dryer for too long.

12. I can use a toaster.

I've missed toasting bagels for breakfast. We aren't allowed to have toasters or hot plates of any sort in our dorm.

13. No setting off fire alarms (as easily)

I won't have to worry about setting off a fire alarm at home because where I cook food isn't in a small space.

14. It's quiet.

No more hearing the garbage truck right outside my window at 4 AM. No more hearing loud people talking in the hallway in the middle of the night. No more hearing TVs through the thin walls.

15. No keys

I won't have to worry about locking myself out of my room because I left my key in there. I also won't have to worry about losing my PED or my dorm key which are both very expensive to replace.

16. No shoes

No more having to wear shoes everywhere I go!

17. Bigger closet space

All my clothes and shoes will finally be in one spot: my walk-in closet. The closet space at school is tiny and it was always overflowing with clothes I brought.

18. Decorating the way I want to

No more following the fire code. That's right, I'll wrap my Christmas lights around my bed if I want to. And I'll use anything but painter's tape to hang up pictures and wall decor.

I have enjoyed the dorm life for the most part, but as the end of the year is nearing, I am looking forward to moving back home.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
