I don't want to watch another Snapchat story about people living better, happier lives when I am sitting here in UCLA. It is enough that I have to give my midterms in two weeks, never mind the fact that you all are having the best time of your life.

I get it. You do not need to rub it in.

Honestly, this might be a bit harsh, because I love everything about UCLA. It is amazing coming back to the college that I love and having a different kind of adventure. Yes, you might be in Spain or at home, but here I am, investing in my education and learning so much.

Even though my classes just started, it is overwhelming to know that I have so much homework to do and so much more studying to accomplish but it is fun, it keeps me busy and that's what I really need in the summer.

At home, I was having the best time, yes, but I was so bored because even binging TV shows gets tiring after a while. It is fun to come back to the hustle-bustle of my life as a college student. Also, I missed my college friends so much and it was amazing to see them again. For those who aren't here yet, I'm waiting for you to come back desperately.

I won't deny that it is frustrating. College, even in summer or maybe especially in summer, is hard and the classes I chose to take are harder, but I feel way more settled than doing nothing at home. It is frustrating realizing that my other friends are enjoying summer to the fullest but maybe, in some ways, I am too.

Now that there are lesser students on campus, it is so quiet and undisturbed. I thrive around people but it is nice to see the campus peaceful for a bit.

So, the reality of the situation is that yes, I am suffering but it is a suffering that is worth this unique experience.
