1. Realizing that you love your school

You know what they say, 'you don't know what you have until it's gone.' The first semester of college can be an emotional rollercoaster.

One day you are loving life, then the next you could be questioning your decision of even going to college in the first place. When I heard that Charleston was under mandatory evacuation, I dreaded leaving. That's when I knew I loved my school.

2. Visit your high school friends that are nearby

Hurrications are a great excuse to see the people you miss the most. I get to see one of my best friends, Summer, who is still in high school.

Hopefully, she knows that I will spend the majority of our time together persuading her to apply to my school. Also, Paulina goes to school just a train ride away from our hometown.

Boston here I come!

3. Miss your college friends

Sure, missing people isn't fun, and it certainly doesn't make your hurrication better. However, missing your college friends is a rewarding feeling. It means that you have established friendships that are strong enough to be excited to return to.

4. Enjoy doing your school work 

When you're at school, doing the work can be a pain. But, when you're at home missing school and the closest thing you can do to feel like you're there is doing school work, you'll welcome it.

5. Do nothing

Or you can neglect everything that you have read so far and do nothing at all. College kids have very little time to do nothing.

6. Do your favorite face mask

Before I left for school, I was a face mask guru. I have only done one face mask since I left for school one month ago. It was a sheet face mask from Urban Outfitters that was $2.50. Now that I am home, I can do my complex face masks that improve my skin and return to school more confident. This goes for any aesthetically improving activity.

7. Go on a shopping spree

As I was packing for the hurrication, I claimed that I wasn't bringing a lot of clothes with me because I didn't know how long I would be gone for. Although this is true, I also set myself up for a potential shopping spree.

8. Drive

Almost everyone I talk to at school says the thing they miss most about home is driving. Enjoy the control before you are walking or Ubering everywhere you go.

9. Eat the food you couldn't at school 

I said I loved the school, not the food. Most days my roommate and I would dream about a home cooked meal or a meal from a restaurant that would put our bank accounts in danger. Now that your home, take it in while you can!

10. Get healthy 

If you've been struck by the college plague, use this hurrication to get healthy. Your body will thank you when you return to school.
