Weird but Worth It

6 Things About Going Home From College

The biggest changes from going from college to home.

1. Not having a roommate

It is so weird not sharing the room with someone whether you like them or not. For me it is so weird not having late night snacks and talks with my roomie.

2. Having so much food

It is so different being able to walk downstairs to a full fridge and pantry. Something I took for granitite.

3. Working

Working an actual job all the time. Yes some people work at college, but it is weird to have that be the only thing you do now.

4. Going back to your old High School

I have gone and said hello made my rounds been to the sports games and it is weird. I am an alumna that is something that blows my mind.

5. You don't have access to your best friends.

My best friends are spread all over the country and it stinks that I cannot just walk down a floor and hang out with them. It is great to see everyone at home, but I am not living with the people I have lived with all year.

6. Having someone in charge of you

It is funny to be back and discuss your schedule, talk about where you are going, and have authority when all we really had was an RA.


It is so great to be home, but it is crazy to see some of the changes. It is a huge transition, but it is worth it for family.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
