1. Walking EVERYWHERE
At home, I literally drive everywhere. But nope, not at college. Parking anywhere other than your assigned lot on campus earns you a $40 ticket. RIP to driving (other than to Target) for now.
2. Studying
Okay, yes, kinda obvious, I know. But for real, I forgot how to even make my brain cooperate that way.
3. Taking an elevator up to your room.
Unless you live in a mansion (proud of you if that’s you), most people don’t take an elevator just to get to their room.
4. Dining hall food
Don’t get me wrong, I love the dining hall food. It’s really not bad at all. However, it doesn’t compare to home cooked food which you don’t put on your plate with a big metal scooper.
5. Not seeing your family members every day
Back to the world of primarily only seeing people within five years of your age.
6. The community showers
Yes, the highlight of dorm life. Get your flip-flops and shower caddy ready, because the comeback of the community showers starts now.
7. The weird eating hours
Lunch at 2:30, dinner at 5:45, and another meal-ish snack at 10:30? Sounds about right. Okay, maybe that’s just me?
Welcome back to college!
