5 Stages Of Being Home From College
The Wandering Wanderlusters

1) Relief.

No more deadlines! No more tests! No more alarms! Until you decide to tell your boss that you're home from college.You can see your dog! Everyday! For months!

2) Boredom.

All your friends from home are working, you're working, and your friends from school are working or live too far away. You start to miss taco bell runs and walking down the hall to see your best friends. Summer has only just began and it feels like it's going to be the longest one ever.

3) You realize that school is coming up and summer is almost over, and even though it felt like forever you realize that you haven't really done anything.

Like go to the beach, or anything else because you were too busy working or watching netflix. Now is the time to cram as much activities as possible into a short span of time so you don't feel like you missed out on anything.

4) Packing

Time to fit your entire closet into tiny boxes! You haven't worn those shirts since middle school? Well, you never know when you're going to wear them, so I would bring them just in case (you won't).

5) You're finally back with your friends! And while you're happy to be back, the realization that school starts in a few days starts to slowly dawn on you.... But then you remember baking cookies at midnight, spontaneous ice cream runs, and blasting music while cramming for that one test, and suddenly being back to school sounds pretty great.

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.

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.
