Summer is finally here and now that I have settled into being back at home, I think I am ready to head back to school. Don't get me wrong, I love being home and spending time with my family, but there are a few things that I do miss about being at college. Here are 5 things I miss about college while I am at home:

My friends.

It is hard coming back home and being away from those that you have grown so close to. I miss the late nights spent with them, the laughs we share, and talks about life. I miss our random car rides and jam sessions, but most of all, I miss them.

Chick-fil-A.

I miss being able to hop in my car and drive three minutes up the road to Chick-fil-A. My bank account is thankful that I cannot do this for the next three months, but I however, am not.

My apartment.

I miss my apartment at school. It felt so much like home and it was pretty darn cute too.

My schoolwork (to a certain extent).

I am thankful to finally have a break from all of the work the school year brings, but a part of me misses it just a little. I miss having a steady schedule and being busy throughout the day.

My college's campus.

I miss walking down campus and seeing so many familiar faces. I miss sitting and having lunch at the picnic tables with friends admiring our beautiful campus.

Don't take your time spent away at school for granted because before you know it, it will be over. Enjoy your time at home, but enjoy your time at school as well!

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
