11 Things A College Student Will Miss During The Summer

Ramapo.edu

We all love to be home from college but we always miss a lot of things at college when we are home from school for the summer. Here are 11 things a college student misses about college.

1. Your Roommates

Once you leave your roommates you feel like you can't live without them for three months! They were always there for you when you were having a breakdown about anything. They would never judge you for looking like a slob because we never gave a crap about how we looked while we were with each other.

2. Sorority or Fraternity

These women and men have been by your side since you joined your organization and helped you every step of the way. You'll miss going to chapter meetings every week and having fun activities with other fraternities or sororities. You'll miss having to do community service projects that have to do with your Philanthropy. And you'll miss just hanging out with everyone or miss seeing one of your sisters/ brothers on campus. You will miss always having someone to say hi to.

3. Your Dorm Room Bed

Every time I would come home on a break or for the weekend, I would always miss my dorm bed! Even though my bed at home is way more comfortable than the one at school! You just miss the way you have to lay to get comfy.

4. Late Nights with your Friends

Having the most amazing time with your friends at college where all you do is eat a shit ton of food and laugh all night! Or go out and all come stumbling in laughing hysterically on the events that took place that night.

5. Freedom

Going back home is like going back to jail sometimes. You may have to follow certain rules that your parents have put into place and you always say, " I wish I was back at school so no one could tell me what to do."

6. Random events giving away FREE stuff

Every college kid loves the word free! We love free anything, free food, free Tshirts, free anything!

7. Meal plans and flex!

Having a meal plan and/or flex dollars, you don't have to worry about carrying around cash to pay for things. But when you're home you have to worry about having enough money to pay for things.

8. Not having to work!

At school you could just lay around in your room when you finished your homework and not having to worry about rushing to go to work!

9. Sleeping in (if you don't take early classes)

When I'm at school I make sure that I never take any early classes so I could sleep in! But not that I'm home from school the only sleeping in late I get is on the weekends since I'm working everyday.

10. Everything that was walking distance

Now that you're home you have to worry about getting to places that you need to go. If I wanted to go to a party I would have to find a ride there and back... now thats too complicated, when you are at school you can just walk there if it was on campus!

11. Our beautiful campus!

I miss walking around campus and seeing how gorgeous it is and how the statues and sculptures are absolutely gorgeous. I wouldn't have my school any other way!

As a college kid you miss so much when you are at home. But its always good to be home and spend time with your family and friends.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
