Is it Weird to Miss College After Coming Home?

Is it Weird to Miss College After Coming Home?

Is it weird that in less than three weeks, college students will be back at school starting on their second semester of school? Is it weird to actually miss college? I am here to tell you that the answer to both of these questions is a no.

Winter break was bound to come to an end soon, plus in two months we will all be back home for spring break, so just like first semester, we have to push through the equivalent of two months and strive for the best. To some people, their winter break was productive with work and catching up with old friends while to others, it was time to catch up on "me time" or to catch up on forgotten sleep because of the time that was spent on preparing for finals and actually taking them.

As for missing college, this could be taken multiple ways, but I'm just going to talk about two: missing colleges as just being there and the bonds that you had made at college. From my opinion, a lot of students like the idea of being on their own and having that sense of independence to do whatever they want. Being on campus is the time they get to have this type of feeling. Either that or they think that they just need to get away from family again. The other reason, being on break means that you are separated from the beautiful friendships that you made at school. The friends that you made probably don't even live in the same city or state as you, so you have to wait for a whole month, or when the summer comes three, to see them again which is kind of sad.

Along the lines of your friends, you start to miss your roommate and your sorority/fraternity. While there are so many friends that you miss back at home, you also miss your friends/family back at school. Missing them is probably the one, if not the number one reason, why some college students are starting to get ready, if not already, to go back to school; to catch up on those friendships. Possibly you are in a relationship with someone that you can only see when you are at college, so to be able to go back to college soon to see him/her brings a warm feeling to your chest.

In the end, it's okay to be ready to go back to college. Even though you won't be in your old room, having everything to yourself if you don't share a room back at home, or if you're not living in a singles' dorm, being around restaurants that aren't in the city that you reside in or the fact of having a semi-functioning sleep schedule, but that's the life of a college student and we sometimes have to go through it to succeed.

As the winter break comes to an end, I hope everyone had an amazing break!

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.
