No one wants to move back in with parents, but it can't be that bad.

Pros of Moving Back In With Parents

No one wants to move home after graduating from college; I don't even want to. However, somethings don't work out the way you want, and you have to move back home for a couple months. Hopefully just two. But here are some pros to moving back home.

1. Home cooked meals


Getting home from work and your mom/dad has prepared a lavish (okay maybe not) meal for you and your family. I mean, you didn't get this at college so this has to be a plus. I know I'm excited for it. If it's eating pizza (that I didn't pay for) in front of a TV, you can count me in!

2. Money saver


Maybe your parents will make you pay rent, but it's not as much as owning your own apartment. I'd rather spend $300 a month, than $1,500. Thank you mom and dad.

3. Utilities

EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED. Woooohooo. No separate bills for Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Fios, and whatever... everything is included. Still fueling my addiction, and I don't have to pay extra for it.

4. Someone to take care of you


For those mornings when you wake up a little too hungover, and not good. Your mom is only a text away to bring you some cold water, and some Advil. Mom is going to be the real MVP.

5. Always have someone to rant to

Now you don't have to call your dad or mom to rant about your day at work, or whatever is bugging you. Now, you get to storm into the house and lay it all out for them. It's better than a phone call, and then you get to go pig out after the rant. Win win situation.


So maybe moving back home isn't ideal. You're away from your friends, and you might be 45 minutes from the city but you get to spend quality time with your parents. It can't be so bad, can it? Thanks mom and dad, ya'll the real MVPs!

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.
