The Top 10 Things Most College Students Miss About Home As Told By 'New Girl'
KristenFortenberry

We all have those things that make us miss home every day (even though we do not always want to admit it to Mom and Dad). It may be different for us all, but we can all admit we do miss some things a lot. No matter what things you may miss most, here are the top 10 things college students miss from home as told by "New Girl." If it is still new to you, and you do not miss much, just remember...


10. Quiet

It seems like everyone has a reason to make noise either in your dorm or on your floor, but sometimes, quiet can be nice, too.


9. Baths (or showers without shower shoes)

While you may get used to showers with shoes, there is nothing like laying down in a nice bath or just being in your shower. You may feel clean at school, but you never feel this clean...

8. Your Hometown

There is something pleasant about the familiarity of your hometown and the people in it. You know where to go, and when, and you never feel lost no matter where you are, not ever this lost...

7. Pets

There is nothing worse than leaving man's (or woman's) best friend at home. No one wants to do it, and it never gets easier leaving them at home. Especially when they are your best friend.


6. Not having to do your own laundry

It just gets done so much faster.

5. Driving wherever, whenever

There is a kind of freedom that feels lost when you are stuck on campus without help from anything but an unreliable shuttle. It also is hard to not be able to belt your favorite song while riding down the highway (I felt this goes without saying).


4. Your bed

You can make your bed on campus as comfy as possible, but nothing can compare to your bed at home where you can spread out and fall asleep comfortably.

3. Privacy in the bathroom

Trying to time out when to use the restroom makes the morning routine just that much harder.

2. Your parents (even though we don't want to admit it)

We love them, even when they try to ground us. And although we will not admit it, we probably miss them the most. We probably all had that moment post move-in where we broke down because we missed them most.

1. Home-cooked meals.

This one is absolutely self-explanatory. If you prefer caf food to mom's home-cooked meals, you are absurd.


While we all love college and living on campus, there are always those things we miss about home. The freedom and fun you have on campus, though, is incomparable to anything you can have at home. I may miss some things at home, but as for now, I am liking it here at school.

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.
