Being home from college is great but it does take a lot of getting used to. You go from having all of the freedom in the world to telling your parents every move you make and sometimes this can be a tough transition. Chores, working, not having to wake up for an 8am class, and even not having home work to do all takes some getting used to.

Going so long with out seeing a dog and being unsure of how to react when you finally see one again.

Dogs are mans best friend but being in college and not seeing one for a couple of months may make you unsure of how to react. But trust me this feeling will soon fade and you will attack a dog with love and all you'll want to do is pet all of the dogs you see.

Asking your parents to please let you go out with your friends knowing that you have work tomorrow.

Asking your parents to do things after going so long without needing permission can seem like a big pain in the butt. In the end they just want to know where you are in case something bad happens or if they need to contact you.

When you get your first paycheck from work knowing how broke college has made you.

.

Even if it was just a $100 paycheck you are still excited because your bank account is finally in the triple digits again.

Deciding what food you should order when your hanging out with your friends and realize you have a total of $20 to spend.

Pizza is inexpensive and delicious, so there is never any fighting when someone asks if we should order pizza.

When your mom wakes you up to give you a list of chores that you need to do by a certain time.

Chores are already one of the worst things to do, but its even worse when your parents wake you up just so you can do them.

Realizing that its almost the new year and you want to look good in your NYE outfit.

Diets are a good thing although losing weight and eating right is one of the hardest things to do unless you have motivation and a good support system.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

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.
