8 Things I Will Miss About Being Home For Break

Heading into the spring semester has never been so bittersweet.

The spring semester is approaching fast — perhaps it's already here for some college students. Whether you're still at home or on campus, we're all going to miss these eight things when we're back at school.

1. Eating home-cooked meals

Nothing beats a home-cooked meal. I love cooking my own meals, and the thought of only having dining hall food as an option is a little painful.

2. Enjoying my free time

Free time in college is vastly different than free time at home. "Free time" in college means time to catch up on the daunting pile of homework waiting for you to complete it. Free time is actually free time, in which you can do whatever you want!

3. Being able to drive

Okay, maybe this is just me. I don't have a car on campus, so it was really nice to get in a car and go places when I wanted to. Paying for gas, however, will not be missed.

4. Spending time with my family


Living at home can be aggravating at times, but it's always a happy moment when I see my family after being away for so long. I don't live too far from home, so I do see my parents more often than most, but reuniting with them is always a joy!

5. Seeing my friends

My high school friends made this vacation as amazing for me. I am forever grateful for their presence, and for their ability to always make our get-togethers the best moments of my life. I will miss them so incredibly much.

6. Sleeping in my own bed (and sleeping in)

Sleep is such an incredible thing — especially in one's own bed. My bed at college is technically my bed, but there's something special about my bed at home that I cherish.

7. Being with my pet

I know everyone with a pet relates to this one. (And if we're all being honest with ourselves, we've all thought about packing our pet in with our clothes and taking them to school with us).

8. Having no homework

Of course, I'm excited for the new semester. I'm excited for the classes and my professors, for the topics we will study and for the new things I'll learn — I just won't enjoy the readings and the worksheets that accompany those things!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
