Reasons We Don't Want To Come Home From College

Home is where the heart is... I guess?

Reasons We Don't Want To Come Home From College

For some, college is the worst, and at the end of the semester you can not wait to get home. But for most college kids, you're home is at school. Obviously no one actually wants to deal with the "school" part of being in college, but we all love the fact that we are surrounded by our best friends and are free to be whoever we want. No parents and no rules. Don't get me wrong, I love my parents (they're great) but, I could definitely do without the rules.

1. I don't want to work.

Even though I am bored out of my mind, I would rather be doing anything other than working...like anything.

2. I don't want chores.

The world's worst phrase, " You need to do your part in this family."

3. All my friends are at school.

Let's be real, you are probably not friends with many of the people you were friends with in high school. That's okay. It just means that you're going to have a really boring summer alone and missing your friends from college.

4. My hometown is boring.

No matter where for are from, you have spent 18 years there and you are over it. You have sucked up anything your town has to offer, and now you are bored.

5. Rules aren't fun.

There aren't any rules at school, so you have been doing your own thing for months but now you have to remember what a curfew is. Uh oh...

6. You get bothered for taking naps.

No mom, I a not sick. I am just tired and bored.

7. You have to be productive on the days you don't work.

Apparently we are not spending our day wisely if we just lounge around the house all day. P.S your parents are lying to you. They are just jealous they can't binge watch Netflix all day.

8. Our parents judge our every move.

Mom, sometimes I just want to eat col pizza at midnight and go to Cookout at 2 a.m... There is no concept of time in college.

9. I hate having to know what I am doing in a week.

I don't like thinking about the future, whether it is tomorrow, next week, or in two years... My brain just doesn't like to plan.

10. I just want to travel and be with friends.

But this thing called parents and money get in the way...

Well, the reality is that we have to go home, and deep,deep down we are glad to be home. At least at home we don't have to take showers with flip flops on, there is free laundry, and our parents buy our groceries for us. SCORE. So no matter how may reasons you have for not wanting to g home this summer, there is no place like home.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
