The 12 Struggles of Transitioning to College Life

You think you're excited for college, until you actually make the transition...

1. The two hour plus drive back to campus can have you wishing for more summer.

2. And cramming all your stuff back into the dorm room? Forget it.

3. The days of sleeping till noon are over. Say hello to 9am wake up calls...

4. ...and staying up until 3 in the morning to finish the homework you put off.

5. You'll forget how nice it is having your own room at home when your roommate starts bringing her annoying friends over.

6. And you'll definitely miss your mom doing the dishes and laundry back at home...

7. ...Not to mention the home cooked meals.

8. You'll soon long for the days of summer, when your only job was working on your tan.

9. When you get that first massive project, you'll be mourning for July.

10. Group projects are personal deliveries from Satan himself. You'll be raging all week.

11. When the snow comes, you'll consider migrating south for the winter.

12. But then again, you know you'll be missing school as soon as you leave!

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.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
