5 Reasons I Love Coming Home From College

Whether it's because you're sick of the dumb drama or physically can't do another paper, there's comes a point in the semester when you really just can't wait to be home. Ya know, college ain't all that it's cracked up to be. It might be fun to be able to do whatever you want, but when you have four papers to do and two tests to study for all in the same week, home seems so much sweeter.

1. Family

I always had a good relationship with my mom and dad before I went to school, but I felt like as soon as I got to college I became so much closer to them. Sometimes you have to miss someone to appreciate them more, and I've learned to say thank you times a million. Going out on the weekends is a blast, but happiness to me is laying in bed with my mom in our pajamas, eating a pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream and watching a sappy, romantic movie.

2. Home Friends

There's a big difference between home friends and school friends. Since you don't get to see your home friends around campus, seeing them during your limited breaks makes your time with them much more special. Plus there's nothing better than going to your local bagel shop and obsessing over how much you missed this porkroll egg and cheese sandwich. Let the catching up begin!

3. Food

There is nothing better than a home cooked meal, especially when my mom is the cook. I've consumed more bowls of cereal in my one and a half years at school then I have in my whole nineteen years of life. My stomach is never dissatisfied when I'm home.

4. Bed

If I could marry my bed at home, I would. I just want a nice big bed I can sprawl out in, instead of the toothpick I lay on at school. I feel like every night I lay down in it, it gets smaller.

5. Freedom

If I'm coming home, I'm leaving all of my responsibilities behind. It's time to relax, and not worry about the pile of school work I have to do and just watch TV for the first time in months. Thank you home for making me stress free!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
