8 Things Every Independent College Girl Misses About College Approximately 0.8 Seconds After They Get Home

While you are at school, you miss home. While you are at home, you miss school. But... missing school becomes more and more prevalent as time goes on and you are stuck at home. At first it's nice to see friends and family that you haven't gotten to see in a while but eventually, it get's old.

So here's a list that every independent college student misses about school while they're home.

1. Your meal plan

Food, paid for, on a card for you to swipe anytime you want.

2. Your roommate

When we moved in together, you swore by for better or for worst. This is definitely one of the most missed things.

3. Living on your own

Technically you're living on your own with a little assistance, so it's pretty cool. You miss not answering to anyone, picking what you want to eat for dinner every night and doing what you want when you want.

4. Parties

There's a party every night of the week, so there's always something to do.

5. Events

If there isn't a party, there's an event. Football games, free pizza, basketball games, and concerts. You name it, they have it.

6. The recreational center

The gym at college is nice, plus it has a pool and a rock climbing wall... so that makes it even better.

7. Club/intermural sports

This is one of the best parts. Even though it isn't a university sport, you still have a blast and take pride in winning.

8. Having a mini fridge in your room

Easy access to food... 24/7. Of course, you'll miss this.

The upside of this is that you'll be back at school next semester, so enjoy home while you can. Spend as much time with friends and family as possible, and make memories. You may only have four years to enjoy it!

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.

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.
