Thinking about college is stressful enough without picking the school you want to attend for four years, or even longer. I never understood what people meant when they said they felt at home when they picked their college. But once I visited my college for the first time, I realized that there's just this feeling that is hard to explain, but you know you want to spend the next four years here. You've finally found your second home.

1. School colors become neutrals in your closet.

2. Walking around campus gives you a sense of community, and you feel like you are at home.

3. You get butterflies when you are driving into your college town after spending a weekend at home.

4. If you see something that has your school colors on it, you have to buy it.

It doesn’t have to have the name of your school or the mascot on it. Just as long as it is your school colors, you have to buy it.

5. And, of course, you can't forget game days.

6. When you are home for the week, you miss your college town and can’t wait to go back.

7. Your campus makes for really pretty Instagram pictures

College is the best time of your life, so don't make the mistake of choosing the wrong one!
