It's almost that time of year, again... That's right. School. More importantly, going back to the life as a college student.

We've relaxed, we've spent time away from our college friends, and now it's time to go back. So in order to celebrate (WOOHOO!), I've come up with a list of 26 things I've missed (and you probably have, too) while spending the summer away from my beloved college campus.

1. MY FRIENDS!!!

2. The convenient food.

3. Having study parties.

4. Not worrying about a clean room.

5. Going to class (I'm weird, I know).

6. Having a set schedule.

7. The (kind of) free gym membership.

8. Having movie marathons.

9. Singing loudly in the car with friends.

10. Meeting new people.

11. Freedom to do what I want, when I want.

12. Taking naps all the time and not feeling bad about it.

13. Going to football games!!!

14. Having girls' night with my besties.

15. Taking showers at ungodly hours of the night.

16. Laughing with my roommate.

17. Getting to tell my parents all the cool things I've done.

18. Showing up to class with no makeup and pajamas on, and not caring what people think.

19. HAVING CLASSES WITH MY FRIENDS.

20. Randomly deciding to go to the beach 'cause why the hell not?

21. Seeing myself improve in my studies.

22. Feeling like I'm actually doing something that will make my life better.

23. Going to events the University has paid for so I get to go for free.

24. Eating delicious, unhealthy food.

25. Feeling accomplished when I get a good grade on a paper I worked really hard on.

26. Feeling homesick instead of longing to go back to college.

So, there you have it. My reasons for missing being away at college might not be exactly like yours, but they're probably very similar. I hope you can relate, and wish you all the best this semester. :)
