College Withdrawals: Symptoms of Going Home for the Summer

We all get excited for summer and the fact that we don't have classes, but what nobody tells you about is the withdrawals you will have from being away from your friends and social life.

You miss your friends an ungodly amount.

Your Facebook creeping abilities have reached a new high.

You kind of scare yourself with how good you are.

You scroll through your photos just to relive the fun in your head. But then get depressed that you are actually not having fun.

You have already eaten everything in the house, and it's only a week into summer.

You go back home and all of the sudden your parents still think their rules apply to you. HA.

And then they expect you to still do chores.

Netflix is starting to sound boring instead of relaxing.

You kind of miss the library, even though you probably only go to socialize.

There is no place that delivers food at 3 a.m. Why? Because you no longer live in a college town.

Your siblings (and everyone else in your house) are driving you bat s**t crazy.

Every family member you see tries to talk to you about your future and you would rather be banging your head against a brick wall.

Your parents are starting to get seriously concerned about your alcohol consumption.

You are sick of actually having to coordinate designated drivers for your nights.

You know why summer is not my favorite season? Because it doesn't fall at the same time as pledge season. Where's a pledge when you need 'em?

The people that stayed home and went to community college are no longer a source of entertainment; they are now just getting annoying.

For some unknown reason, drunkenly punching walls is not sponsored by parents.

You have had to come up with new ways to entertain yourself.

Your pets don't even recognize you. So really what is the point of being home?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
