Things You'll Miss About Home When You Go Back To College

After about the first week of being home for the summer, you started counting down the days until you were back at school. Although you can’t wait to be back to living life parent-free, there are some things you might miss about living at home.

Your mom doing your laundry for you

It’s not like she did it all the time, but when she spontaneously washed and folded your clothes, it was amazing. Going back to school means you’ll be back to forgetting to do laundry until you've run out of clothes.

Wi-Fi that actually works

You definitely aren’t prepared for the infuriating crap that your school passes off as Wi-Fi.

A fridge full of groceries that you didn’t have to pay for

Back to your starving student budget; don’t we all wish we could have a refrigerator full of Trader Joe's.

Your own personal bathroom

Okay, if you’re living in an apartment you may have your own bathroom, but living in the sorority house means you're back to sharing bathrooms and the oh-so-coveted mirror space.

Your hometown friends

Although you may not hang out with all of your friends from high school, you definitely spent some time with your besties and you’ll miss reminiscing with them all the time.

Your bigger-than-a-twin bed

That queen bed was nice while it lasted…

Your abundance of closet space

You honestly have no idea how you’re going to cram all your clothes in that tiny closet in your apartment.

Home-cooked meals

You can try and make the same meals as mom, but you’ll probably burn it or add too much salt—Easy Mac seems to be the best meal choice for you.

Being able to walk around naked

Clothing is now necessary everywhere; you don’t want to scare your roommates!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
