If Time Travel Was Real, I Would Go Back To Being 10 Years Old Again For These 7 Things

I REALLY took advantage of everything and how easy life was.

If Time Travel Was Real, I Would Go Back To Being 10 Years Old Again For These 7 Things
Alex Camerlengo

Now that I am what you would consider an 'adult', I have realized that kids have the easiest lives. When I was younger, I always looked forward to going to college and growing up and now I wish those years didn't go by so quickly. I REALLY took advantage of everything and how easy life was.

1. Driving

This sounds ridiculous. But think about it. When you were younger, all you had to do was sit in the back seat and relax. Sometimes, you could even watch a movie! I couldn't wait until the day that I got my license and could drive wherever I wanted too, but I kind of wish my mom and dad could still drive me around places. Also as a kid, you didn't have to pay for gas. So that was nice too.

2. Working

Kids don't have to work. They do chores around the house and occasionally babysit or pet sit, but they don't have to deal with employment until they are teenagers. And I used to pretend to be a McDonald's cashier when I was younger... if only they knew.

3. Summer Vacation

I cannot tell you how stressed I was going into summer because all I could think about was finding a job. I found one thankfully. But that's what happens when you get to college. Your summers are no longer filled with fun summer camps, sleepovers with friends, and trips to the beach... it's trying to look for summer jobs and make as much money as you possibly can before the fall semester starts. My little brother and sister are living it up doing fun summer camps and swimming all day.

4. The Fridge

It is so nice coming home to a full fridge and pantry. When I'm at school, I literally eat yogurt and sandwiches all the time. I took advantage of all the access to the amazing snacks that resided in our pantry. Especially when I would go grocery shopping with my mom and she would let me pick out all the food for my lunches and home... those were the days.

5. Homework

This sounds weird because who likes homework? Not me. But I especially don't like homework in college. It takes way to long and is MUCH harder than what I complained about in middle school and high school. I would do anything to go back to my homework taking me 15 minutes and it being an easy math worksheet.

6. When mom and dad packed my lunch

I don't know what is special about a parent packing your lunch, but I took advantage of it. I don't know about your parents, but my parents would even write me notes in my lunch box reminding me to have a good day or a cheesy poem that my dad would write me. Think about it, you would walk downstairs and all you would have to do is grab your Vera Bradley lunch box and out the door you went. Now if I want to pack myself lunch, I have to give myself at least 15 minutes to do so- I never realized how long making a sandwich actually takes.

7. Disney Channel

I feel bad for kids now because they will never get to experience the "That's so Suite Life of Hannah Montana." Disney Channel now is so strange and definitely not as cool. I would do anything to watch an episode of That's So Raven again on television.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
