I already know what everyone who is currently in college is thinking when they read the title of this article; "'Miss' and 'high school' in the same sentence? Yeah right."
Now don't get me wrong, college is inevitably better than high school. The freedom aspect, meeting all sorts of new people, etc. However, at the same time, I am also probably one of the very few people to say that there are a list of things that I actually miss from being in high school.
1. Knowing you'd be able to see your dog right when you got home after school
I miss the days that I knew that got to go right home and snuggle with my dog to make the end of my days just a little bit better.
2. Having a home-cooked meal every day
I think we can all admit to the fact that knowing you'd be having a delicious dinner each night beats eating either cafeteria food or cooking the same old pasta each day.
3. Homecoming
I know there's homecoming events in college, of course... but in no way does it compare with high school; if your school was anything like mine, that is. The build up is just so much more exciting. Spirit week, the parade, the football game, the preparation for the dance, the dance itself. It was definitely the most lively time of the school year!
4. Field trips
Sure they didn't happen that often in high school, but when they did, they were extremely exciting.
5. Having relationships with teachers outside of the classroom
In college, you're lucky if professors even know your name. Which is understandable most of the times, but still. Building relationships with your teachers that genuinely cared was always something I cherished back in the day.
6. Not having the constant reminder of being in debt
Let's face it; n�othing is free in college. In high school, sure, there's taxes that you pay, but it sure beats the cost of things once you get to the university level.
7. Snow Days
��Compared to high school, it is darn near impossible to get a snow day in college. Oh no it's fine, we don't have to walk on extremely slippery sidewalks all the way across campus or wait an hour for the busses to roll through or anything during the terribleness of the winter. Thanks so much for caring about our well-being!
8. Less stress
College is the EPITOME of stress. 24/7. All day every day. I'm not saying high school was never stressful, but if I could take back what I thought was "stress" during those days, I totally would.
