Sometimes going back home for the summer can be a drag. Yeah you are happy to spend quality time with friends and family but you don’t look forward to going back to the house rules, curfews, and chores that come with living at home. Now it is time to go back to school, and although you are happy here are a few of the things that you are most likely dreading.

Homework


After a summer of relaxation, the last thing you want is to have to do homework but that will be your reality again for the next nine months.

Exams


No one ever misses studying for exams, well in actuality cramming. We all dread this.

8 A.M.'s


So you just spent the last three months sleeping in and staying out late, going to as ay parties as you want, or even just watching Netflix all night long. Now you have to get back to a regular sleeping schedule to make it on time to your 8am class and stay awake for the whole two hours.

Cafeteria Food


Although the cafeteria food isn’t always that bad you know you are going to miss having a variety in your diet.

All nighters


We all try to avoid these but when midterms and finals role around we can’t seem to help it. And the stress that comes with it we are not excited for.

Free time and extra cash


We are going to miss having free time to do what we want. With the school year starting we have to juggle classes, extra-curricular activities, and for some of us working as well. We no longer have the extra time nor the extra money we had over summer break.

Seeing the people you don’t like


There is always at least that one person that you are always trying to avoid around campus, you had a break all summer now you have to go back to ducking and dodging.

Fighting for parking


No one is really sure the purpose of those student parking stickers anyway when you still everyday find yourself fighting for parking so you don’t have to walk blocks to get to class.

No longer having your own space


For those living on campus this is a huge downside, even if you have an awesome roommate you know that you will miss having your own room and not having to share a common area or bathroom.

Missing those home cooked meals


So you spent the summer at home and got a bit spoiled with the fridge always full and a nice home cooked meal every night, now you’ll have to wait until the holidays.

Paying for laundry

Being at home you have your own washer and dryer. You can do your laundry whenever you want for free or if you’re really lucky your mom will do it for you. Now those summer days have ended so back to stashing all the quarters you can find.

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.
