A College Kid's Summer Break As Told By Gifs

Summer break is a time for every college student to let loose. Traveling, vacations, beaches, exotic destinations. Young people across the country spend their much needed break off from school seeing the world, having fun, and hanging out with friends.

Or they are like me--the college student who can't wait to go home for those three months and do absolutely nothing. Going home is sometimes the best vacation. No responsibilities, no commitments. Just a time of getting away from the stress of school. Everyone home from college for the summer knows what it's like to finally get that rest and relaxation they deserve after being away at school.

After months of struggling through classes all year, you are finally free.

You try to neatly pack up all of your clothes in an organized fashion, but realize how hard it is.

Once you've finally packed your stuff away, it's time for that road trip home.

But then, you get stuck in traffic and you just want to be home.

When you are finally out of traffic and your house comes into sight, you almost burst into happy tears.

After saying hi to your family, you make sure to give your pet the biggest hug in the world.

You immediately collapse on your bed for the first time in what feels like years.

Then you realize how hungry you are.

But you have no food in your fridge.

So you take a much needed food shopping trip with your family and want to buy everything in sight.

Once you're home, you eat yourself into a food coma because you finally have real food instead of dining hall scraps.

That night, you realize how much you've missed your comfortable bed, so you sleep like a baby.

When you wake up the next morning and remember you don't have to go to class, you do a little dance.

And then proceed to spend your entire day in bed binge-watching that Netflix show you finally have time to catch up on.

For dinner you get another home cooked meal and feel like royalty.

The next day you consider going out and doing something productive, but instead, choose to vegetate in bed all day.

Then you repeat this cycle of laziness and avoiding responsibilities for months until it's finally time to go back to reality.

And when you're on your way back to school, you can't help but count down the days until you're home again.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
