9 Thoughts That Cross Every Student's Mind On Their Way Home For Summer
Karleigh Gwyn

School's out for summer! And every summer, without fail, these thoughts cross the minds of every college kid on their trek home.

1. I hope I didn't forget anything

I am absolutely not crossing state lines this summer to get the things I have forgotten. Or that's what I tell myself.

2. I need to adjust my sleep schedule

For my own sanity and for my parents', I need to start sleeping at normal sleeping hours again.

3. I have to unpack all this stuff when I get home

And then I have to pack it all up again in two months. Maybe I can just live out of boxes for the summer?

4. I wonder how productive I am actually going to be this summer

Yeah, I said I was going to do LSAT prep and get a job. But a new season of New Girl just came out.

5. Time to start summer cleaning

Summer cleaning is exactly like spring cleaning but for college kids. I know all of the stuff I have at home and all of the stuff I acquired at school this year is not going to all fit into my closet, but I will still feel physical pain with every item I have to let go.

6. I have to share a bathroom with my sibling again

For some reason the anonymous communal bathroom suited me better.

7. Home-cooked meals

Enough said.

8. Time to prepare for the daily inner-conflict of sleep vs. family

I know I can hardly keep my eyes open, but my priority is to spend every possible moment with my family.

9. Only two more of these until graduation

With every milestone I am that much closer to graduating and entering the real world. Then promptly after this thought, stress follows.

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.
