7 Things I Will Miss After Winter Break

Winter break has truely been a blast. I had so many memories that I wouldn't trade for anything and I am sad to say that we are back at school. I love school and all, but I already winter break. Here are seven reasons why:

1. Family

It sucks when you get so use to seeing your family everyday and then having to leave them to go back to college. All those family activities and home cooked meals is over. I don't know what I would do without my family. My winter break wouldn't have been the same without them. Until next time fam!

2. Friends

I have a few friends that I am still close with from high school and one of my favorite things to do when I am home is spend time with them. I love my college friends but something about my friends from home is something special. They been around for so long and I don't know what I'd do without them. The few memories we spend together is something I will always cherish. I know people say college friends are your friends that stay, but heck I love my friends from high school.

3. My Dogs

Where do I even begin? Who doesn't love to come home to your pets? If I could bring my dogs to college with me I would. They're just always so happy to see you and it leaves such a warm, fuzzy feeling. I guess I'll have to settle for the millions of picture I took on my phone of them until next time.

4. Wawa

I DON'T HAVE WAWA NEAR MY COLLEGE. Honestly, I love Sheetz. I really do, but nothing compares to Wawa. If you have a Wawa by your school, don't take it for granted. I am so sad that I can no longer eat from Wawa.

5. Sleeping in

Who doesn't love sleep though? I will miss being able to sleep in. Some have jobs over break and can't relate, but for me, I was able to sleep as late as I wanted. Though it was hard getting use to not getting up for classes. Now I gotta go back to my old sleep schedule and I am not physically or mentally prepared for that.

6. Being stress free

Not having to worry about school all break was a nice feeling. Sure I still had to worry about my senior project, but for the most part, it was nice. Not having to worry about all of the homework and projects that I usually do was so relieving. Though I am not gonna lie, as school was approaching, I did feel the stress slowly creep into my mind. I guess you can never really get away from your responsibilities at school, even if you are on break.

7. My bed

My bed is something I absolutely hate leaving. I am use to dorm beds seeing as I am a senior, but nothing beats your bed at home. It's comforting physically and mentally. My bed is where I feel most comfortable.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
