The 5 Most Annoying Things About Being Home For Break

.

1. Having nothing to do

Giphy

On campus, there were a million things that you could do at all times, even if that means just wandering around, at least you're around people. You come back home and lose your freaking mind because there isn't something to occupy your time every day of the week.

2. Less freedom

Giphy

Okay mom, what do you mean you want me to stay home tonight instead of go to the party? Are you telling me I'm not allowed or are you trying to guilt me in to staying home? Either way, not cool.

3. Having to help around the house

Giphy

All I want to do is lay around for the next month before school starts back up, please don't make me do anything that will exert any energy, I'm storing it for later.

4. Not knowing anybody in your friends' stories

Giphy

Okay wait, wait, hold up - who's Sydney again? Is that the blonde one? Dude you've gotta slow down and give me some more details, I literally have no idea who any of your new college friends are.

5. Missing the gang from college

Giphy

I've barely spent any time with them, and I already miss them. You spend so much time together, and they become a part of your daily routine, so it's hard not to. It'll just make going back to school that much more fun.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
