Good to be home.

Everything You Feel The First Week Back At College

It's been a week. You've had your obnoxious hugs and greeting attacks with your long lost friends that you made last year. You've already been to class, the gym, the library, the frats, the Den, and you're salty you haven't made a trip to Dairy Castle yet. And you've been to way way way way too many parties. But, either way, school seems like home again. Even when asked where you're going you refer to your new room as "home."

Everything is WONDERFUL. Besides the fact that your professors gave you hella homework on the first day of class, it is actually nice getting back into the school grind. After the Camp College you needed to become a human again and be civilized. Buying books wasn't your favorite task either, but you remind yourself that it will all be worth it. You have created your new schedule, planning out your days, making time to accomplish everything, take a nap, and still have fun. Work hard, play hard.

Though you are overly obsessed with how happy your life is, you still have had some adjustments to make. Your friendships from last year are still blossoming into beautiful flowers daily, but they are changing too. The people you previously could not go a day without hanging out with in your dorm rooms, are all of a sudden not a part of your daily lives. Not for a specific reason, mainly just because the older we get the more time studying and obligations take up. And it doesn't help that we no longer live down the hall of the dorms anymore.

The friends from school you got to see this summer from time to time are back with you and you are able to see them every day again. YAY! Nothing better than being back with them in the one place that started it all. You can finally hang out every day, not just on weekends, or make trips to have dinner randomly. But, you have to learn how to share your friends again. That sounds funny, but it is sooo true. Having a small group of friends or individual time with your bestie a few times throughout the summer was the bomb, and now all of a sudden you both have multiple friends and obligations to tend to as well. Sharing is caring though, so you are happy about everyone being friends!

Many and most friendships have been strengthened. You get to live with a bunch of fun "sisters/brothers" if you rushed, and if not you still get to live in a bomb dot com apartment or dorm with some of your own cool cats. It's an experience to say the least. Going from never living with another girl (besides my mom) to living with one was a big deal, then this year you jump into living with 60-some girls. WOAH baby. It's a verrrrry large adjustment to make and get comfortable with.

In one week, you have had to teach yourself how to have willpower again. Though the parties are fun, sometimes rest is really more necessary. But, it is SO incredibly hard when every person is getting ready and dressed and hyped to go out on a Tuesday to stay in and witness via Snapchat stories.

And of course, you miss your family already. Maybe you're not homesick, but seeing your siblings and parents would not be too bad. If you're an animal person, you are definitely missing your dogs. If your boyfriend/girlfriend doesn't go to school with you, you are definitely missing them. But, all in all there is no place you would rather be than your beautiful college campus with your beautiful amigos. #blessed

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.
