The First Week Home From College As Told By 'New Girl'
Spoiler's Guide

You’ve finished all of your finals, said goodbye to your friends and unpacked your dorm. Next up---summer break. Don’t get me wrong, having 3 months off is necessary, because you can’t be in school forever. However, as much as you want those 3 months to fly by, they don’t.

Day 1: I could do this forever

No homework? No tests? So I can just lay around and watch Netflix all day? Sounds good to me.

Day 2: Missing your college friends

It’s hard to go from seeing your best friends everyday to not seeing them. Your solution? Facetime them 10 times a day. But, their reaction is not what you expect...

Day 3: Seeing your friends from home

Okay, maybe you should actually leave your bed. You start making plans with friends and suddenly relieve yourself from your temporary boredom.

Day 4: Laziness

Everything is going well until you walk out your front door and forget your friends aren’t a short walk across campus. Wait, I have to drive to see people? I can’t just walk?

Day 5: Boredom hits

Curling up with Netflix in bed every night becomes very boring, very fast. Your days consist of waiting for your next meal.

Day 6: Exercise. Exercise

You decide you should do something with your life. What better way to spend the summer than to get fit?

Day 7: Counting down the days until you go back to school

When nothing is cutting it anymore. No matter what you do, being home will never be as fun as being at college.

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.
