I know you're probably thinking "How could you even think about college during summer break?" Well, I have had enough of Jersey and realized why I truly couldn't wait to leave home. It's too quiet and everything closes early. I have to always ask to go out somewhere and be home by a decent hour. Now, anyone who knows me knows I'm a night owl and I am always looking forward to a good night adventure and pulling all-nighters. In college I could do all of that since I do go to school in New York City which is the city that never sleeps. Here are 8 things that I miss about college!
#1 Meeting New People
Although I love my old friends to death and I wouldn't trade them for the world, but I love meeting someone new and exciting. Being in NYC it's a given that you make a friend with a total stranger on a daily basis. I meet someone new everywhere! On the train, the international students at my school at parties, and even walking down the street.
#2 Free Food
There are always these little activities to do around the dorm and a lot of the times, there's free food involved which is so down my alley.
#3 Occasional Cancelled Classes
That's pretty self explanatory.
#4 Student Discount
Being a college student really does has its perks. That student discount definitely comes in handy when I wanna buy that fly ass $80 jacket off of ASOS but end up paying around $60 for it. Also going to museums around the city for free is also really nice. My favorite discount is the one for food of course!
#5 No Dress Code
The best thing about college is the fact that you can wear whatever you want and no one complains about it. It's also great that I go to fashion school because you can dress to the 9's and it's totally cool and normal.
#6 Naps
The second I come home from class, I don't even take my clothes off. I just jump straight in bed and take a nice long nap and end up pulling an all nighter because I've now slept the whole evening away.
#7 Adventures
One thing I truly miss about college is the adventures I would go on late at night around the city with my friends. I never feel more free or alive than exploring the city and getting into some late night shenanigans around NYC. I remember walking all the way through soho to W 57th street then through central park all the way to E 97th street at 4 in the morning. That was one of the longest walks I've ever been on but it was an experience of a lifetime.
#8 New York City
Of course last but not least is NYC! I miss the bright lights and busy streets. I miss soho and the luxurious Upper East Side! I miss it all and I can't wait for another exciting year!
