The Struggles College Students Face At Home

Missing your home away from home.

The Struggles College Students Face At Home
Holy Cross

When its finally time to come home for the summer after finals are done with all college students feel a different range of emotions. At first we are excited to come home , then two weeks go by after being home and all you want to do is be anywhere but there. You realize once again , that everything at home is different that what you are use to at school.

1.Sleeping In

All you wanna do after such a exhausting semester is to sleep in. After a while it gets old and you start noticing that your parent judge you so hard if you sleep past nine.

2. Friends are out of Range

The thing about being home is that your friends probably do not live near you. (especially if your school is about 7 hours away from home , like me ) There are friends at home but its the summer everyone is probably away on vacation or working on different schedules which makes it hard to hang out.

3. Notifying your Parents

Coming from an atmosphere where you just get up and leave not having to let anyone know where you are going is pretty hard t do when you are home. It is probably one of the most annoying things ever having to tell someone you are going out , every time you step out of the house. It sometimes feels like your back in high school again.

4. Rules

After living with your friends and doing what ever you want, it makes it pretty hard to come back home and being back in the routine of house rules. Having to do chores outside of your room seems pretty unfair. Worse part is everyone doesn't have the same sleep schedule that you are custom to, so keeping quite around the house sometimes seems impossible.

Being home definitely makes you appreciate your college way more. The thing is you always want to be at school when you are home and when you are at school all you want to be is at home. No one can ever win.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
