The Things You Miss The Most From Home That You Rediscover Over Spring Break

Spring break can't come fast enough.

The only thing standing between you and spring break are 3 tests, 2 research papers, 1 group presentation and pointless activity worth 30 points of your grade. No big deal, right? It's been enough torture that your mind has been on break for the past two weeks, but nothing's as bad as having to really try hard the week before spring break. Can we go back to elementary school where all we did was paint and color the week before break? And draw pictures to take home to our parents. What happened to the good old times?

Spring break can't come soon enough. And I speak for every college student out there.

Here are things you're looking forward to the most if you're going to your hometown for the week of spring break.

1. Your bed.

Besides your family, this is the next most anticipated thing that gets you beyond hyped to go home. There's nothing like waking up in your bed from home on the first day of break wondering 1. where the heck you are and 2. why is this so much better/ more comfortable than my bed at school?

2. Good food.

No more plain pasta or ramen this week!

3. No homework.

This has pros and cons. Plus side is not using your brain for a week but once you get back it's like you've never used it before...which causes some major problems

4. Your dog.

Nothing beats a week of a doggo jumping up on you whenever you walk through the door. Despite your leggings covered in hair and you not being able to eat without someone hovering over you...it's worth it.

5. Hometown Friends

Cause nothing beats the friends you grew up with. S/o to them.

6. Getting to sleep in... as late as you want to

Not having those alarms go off at 6:45 a.m. is truly a blessing.

7. Wifi that doesn't constantly reset itself.

NO better feeling than walking into your front door and your wifi automatically connects. I'm home, everyone, I am home.

8. The gift of recording live TV

Missed "The Bachelor"? No problem, just record it. "This is Us" is on but you are busy? Who cares you can watch it tomorrow. That's the luxury of real TV when you are home.

9. Siblings

Although at times they get on your nerves, nothing beats having siblings to joke with on spring break. The only people you can be relentlessly honest with without hurting their feelings.

No matter how you chose to spend your spring break, in the end, it is halfway through the semester which means halfway to summer vacation and/or graduation... yikes.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
