To be honest I don't love the college experience or the college I'm attending. By "don't love" I mean sort of really detest.

I don't like how there are rats in the dorms and that the floors are slanted. I can't stand how some dorms are enormously better than others; the discrepancy is unbelievable. Northeastern University really needs a lesson in balance; I know you want money from new students, but overcapacity is a real issue.

First off I really hate back to school commercials. Kohl's and Target shouldn't bother to make them, they are absolutely appalling and nobody actually pays attention to them. Don't waste your money.

I'm the type of person that can't stand thinking about things that I don't want to think about, ie school. So I put it off and don't handle any of the things associated with it till the last minute. Then I wonder where all this work came from. Since when did I have to do housing forms and immunization forms? These schools really do ask for too much from us students. We have enough to handle.

I'm an out of state student and the five hour airplane flight is the absolute worst. My parents think I'm being a wimp, but I literally cannot take it. I don't know if any of you can sympathize, but the airplane cabin pressure is so high; I have massive headaches, massive weakness, and I feel so alone with nothing to entertain me but a few episodes of Modern Family.

However, the worst part is the loneliness. Waiting for the airplane to arrive, all alone at your terminal is the content made for those black- and- white zoom out gifs or the music video to the saddest Lana del Rey song.

Here's something to note about Homesickness:

Its a real disease!

Being away from home/ Seattle, I thought I would get used to it. But I can't; its not normal to miss the rain and dark hunter green trees. I miss my family more than I thought was emotionally possible. I play Macklemore's music way too much.

Point is, all students: homesickness can be cured if you're happy and adjusting well in your new school. If you just aren't happy, and don't have anything that anchors you to your school, like a club or something, then perhaps consider a transfer to a school closer to home. Its harder to study when you're unhappy and emotional.

Here's some more tips on how to succeed academically:

If you're a procrastinator, are you also a perfectionist? There is a link between procrastination and perfectionism; perfectionists are often worried that they might fail so subconsciously, we avoid doing the task altogether. To fix it; make up your own reward system and stop thinking: "I don't want to do this" and start to think positive thoughts "if I do this I will reward myself with a few (which usually leads to a lot, opps) episodes of How to Get Away with Murder and a cupcake!" There isn't an easy overnight method to get rid of procrastination, but patient step by step we can beat this horrible disease.

I wish all of you the best luck in the upcoming school year!
