Students across the country have packed up their belongings and hit the road, leaving behind family, friends, home, and many great memories. Each spring college students wrap up the year and move home for the summer months. While they're excited to reunite with pets and loved ones, leaving school is a dreaded task.

After spending hours upon hours studying and finally getting those exams out of the way, it's time to celebrate, right? But instead, after the final test has been completed we say our goodbyes and prepare for a summer spent working and being nagged by our parents. I just finished my first year of college and I never thought I would miss being at school as much as I do right now.

Now, don't get me wrong, I have amazing friends at home and a great job. But there's nothing like walking two feet up the hall to hang out with friends or having a "slumber party" every night with your roommate. I can't just go knock on my best friends door.

Well, I suppose I could, but the point is my friends aren't a door away anymore. And do I dare mention the lack of food variety I have at home? It's awesome to just walk into the kitchen if I'm hungry, but where is the stir-fry station? Salad bar? What about the frozen yogurt machines? It's safe to say I didn't go hungry at school.

By the end of the summer, I am sure I will have re-adjusted to life at home. I don't expect to see fried chicken on Sunday nights and hot chocolate chip cookies every afternoon. I'll be sad to leave my parents, and I will be concerned about the fact I won't be making money anymore. But for now, I will sulk in self pity.

I will cry, because I miss my roommate's company and laughing with my friends right up the hall even though my "home friends" are only a text or phone call away. I will simply starve if I don't like the few options of food in the kitchen that I know I should be thankful for. For now, I will accept the fact that I am suffering from a severe case of "post college depression."
