College students are just children trying to figure out their way in the adult world

The Stages Of Summer As Told By Disney Gifs

Summer vacation is here. Students everywhere are jumping for joy because we no longer have to worry about homework or finals anymore, well, at least not until August when the next semester begins. For many college students, we are coming home for the first time since Christmas break, wallets empty and beyond tired, ready to take a break from being an adult. We have spent the last few weeks cramming for finals and overdosing on coffee, saying our goodbyes to our favorite seniors and our new friends, and on top of those emotional roller coasters we have to move ALL of our stuff out of the dorms...which we are wondering how and why we have so much stuff when we came with so little. The day to go home finally comes and let's be honest, we are all so ready to be home in our big comfy beds, with our big stocked kitchen only a few steps away.

Now you've most likely been living with at least one roommate, not leaving much privacy like what you have when you are home. Finally, you can walk around in your underwear and not have to worry about your roommate and their friends walking in.

We have been talking about all of the weight we have gained over the year and how we're going to lose all of that weight right when we get home. The first few days at home you are motivated because you aren't working and you have little to worry about. You go to the gym and give it your all or as much as your lungs can't handle after not using them for so long. After going to sleep because you are so tired from that workout, you wake up sore but convince yourself you're going back to the gym. Well, it turns out you went too hard and can't even lift those little five pound weights.

At school we would wake up and go to class, then maybe go workout or do some kind of errand, but we didn't have to plan our day out around work. Sometimes you have to wake up early to go to the gym before work or maybe you have an appointment and before work is the only time you can go. Waking up in the morning is the worst, trust me I know, but sometimes you have to do it.

One of our favorite things when we get home is getting to eat all of our favorite local eats. Sure the chains are good, butt nothing beats that little hole in the wall that serves your favorite dishes in that special way only they can do. Let's face it, you're probably as happy as Pooh Bear when he gets his honey.

Pay day is the best day. Your wallet is filled again, the bank account is no longer hurting, life is good! When you get it, you think of all of the things you can do with all of that money...like maybe investing in a new Patagonia?

But that excitement is quickly stripped away once you look and see the taxes that were taken out. Yeah there's adulthood again, kicking your butt.

Getting home from work, you are exhausted and more than ready for bed...even though it is only six. Your feet hurt and if you're really lucky even your head, welcome to the real world and a glimpse at your future, don't you love growing up?

Even though you are working, there do come those days off where you can catch up on the things you need to get done and even maybe adventure around with your friends.

Maybe if you're lucky, you'll meet a cute boy or girl at a bonfire and have some summer lovin!

But one thing, even though we're busy with work and trying to save up for next years adventures at school, remember to have some fun and don't work all of the time, you have the rest of your life to work and you're only young once!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
