After being home for nearly a month, or sometimes two months for some college students, we do want to go back to college, but at the same time, there are things we do not want to deal with when we return for the spring.

1. No more home-cooked meals.

Unless you live in an apartment and can cook, the rest of us have to return to eating in the dining hall at college. But nothing beats a home-cooked meal or going out for a nice meal with your family.

2. Being away from your pet.

One of the hardest things about going back to college means being away from your pet. Who's going to cuddle with you when you are stressed from all your homework?

3. Being away from family.

When you're home for a month, you get to make up the time you missed with your family. Going back after a month makes you miss them all over again.

4. Buying new textbooks.

After finally getting used to not having to worry about reading for school, it is time to shell out more money for new books.

5. Meeting new professors.

It is time to get used to new professors and their teaching methods, and not to mention getting back into test mode again.

6. Meeting new friends.

You have to start over again with new classes, which means a whole new group of people. It is time to make new friends so you can all help each other in the class.

7. Being away from your own bed.

There is something about sleeping in your own bed at home. But returning to college means getting used to your dorm bed again for the next couple months.

8. Having to get on a schedule again.

At home, I could wake up at 11 and hang out in my pajamas. But now I have to return to a schedule and get back in to getting up early. Not fun, but necessary.
