In high school, you almost always had a life on the weekends. You got to eat whatever you relatively wanted to. You were able to eat what your mother and father made you for all three meals of the day. Once you get to college, your life changes.

I always used to love weekends when I was in high school. To me, it was a few days to relax and do whatever I really wanted to. Yeah, that all changed when I got to college. You think that you are going to be able to relax, but then you get those assignments that have to be turned in on the weekend. You also have to constantly study for every class you are taking. If you are a science major, you have so many different science classes that you have to study for. If you are a dance major, you constantly go over all of the pieces that you are learning, so when it comes time to perform them for your professor, you pass with proficiency and you don't look like a fool.

There are times where you have a huge paper to write that is due the next day you go to class. Most people love Netflix. You find this one show on there that you absolutely fall in love with and cannot stop watching it until you finish all 12 seasons. You never get that paper done and are screwed for the rest of the day because that is all you can think about. You have so much on your mind already and that just adds to the load.

You get hungry in the middle of the day and are too busy working on homework to go get food in a different building. You get up and look in your cabinets for food and realize you have nothing. You don't have money either because you are too busy with school to hold a job and therefore, you can't buy food. You call your parents up and tell them that you need food and have no time or money to go get some yourself. They then proceed to tell you that is why you have a meal plan at school. Little do they know that you don't want to walk across campus to get food when it is freezing cold or too hot and humid outside.

Everybody thinks that the college life is amazing. I'm not gonna lie it is pretty amazing when you have all these fun activities to do. Weekends can be hard, but you get through them as you do the rest of the school year. With as many classes and extracurricular activities that you have, no matter how hard it is, you will always get through it. Don't ever tell yourself that you can't make it through school because you can. Weekends are time to recuperate and get yourself together and get ahead on homework while still having time to yourself. This is how you plan for your future.
