Thank God Break Is Almost Over

Why being home isn't the same anymore.

Thank God Break Is Almost Over
Holzman Moss Bottino

I can't believe I'm saying this but I can not wait to be back in school. I can't wait to see my professors and have classes everyday and to be immersed in an education. Don't get me wrong, I love having time off, but sometimes it's too long.

I miss the freedom of being my own person and having the ability to do what I want. It's hard going from a place where I have no limitations to being home where I get yelled at if I don't take the trash out. It's weird suddenly feeling like a child again despite being almost 20 years old.

I miss the food. YES I MISS THE FOOD. I know that might be weird to most but I miss the ability to use my meal money and have options in the cafeteria. Today I actually made myself a sandwich that just had mayonnaise and potato chips on it.

Most of all though, I miss my friends. It's been hard not having them by my side as my rocks like they usually are and knowing that they aren't just a short walk away has been trying.

I find it ironic how much I don't like breaks now when back in high school they were all I looked forward to. I guess the difference was back then school was just school but now school is my life. It's where I've moved on to and where I'm making things happen. I never expected being home to be so different, but it is.

Now break it almost over (thank god) and I can't wait to more memories.

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.

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.
