With many of us, returning back to college after what seems like a short winter break, I present you with my (and quite possibly many other's) feelings toward going back.

1. Refusal/Denial/Disbelief

Winter break isn't over. Nope. Plus after being home for three weeks, I don't want to leave. I just started getting comfortable back here again. I had adjusted. Plus, my family is here and homemade FOOD. AUGH.

2. Pep talking (and getting distracted)

I had to give myself a pep talk to motivate myself to pack and to prepare myself for the three hour drive back to college. I don't mind as much to have to return, but I just kind of want to be there without having to go through the hassle of traveling.

3. Waves of overwhelming sadness

I love my job here at home and my family and friends are here. Like I said I had just gotten adjusted back here.

4. The joy of being with my pals @ college again

I love my hometown pals, don't get me wrong. But there are reasons why I left home to go somewhere else for college. Plus I miss all my friends I see

everyday on campus. I miss hanging out and goofing off with them.

5. Attempting to adjust back

After spending three weeks at home, living out of a duffel bag, I'm going to have to revert back to nothing but work and school. Plus, school food--which isn't all that bad, but after eating home-cooked meals, it'll be hard. On top of that, now we have to return to a somewhat normal sleep schedule.

6. Acceptance

You're back at college and it's a new semester. Time to take this semester head on and be optimistic!!
