College Withdrawals: Symptoms of Going Home for the Summer

We all get excited for summer and the fact that we don't have classes, but what nobody tells you about is the withdrawals you will have from being away from your friends and social life.

You miss your friends an ungodly amount.

Your Facebook creeping abilities have reached a new high.

You kind of scare yourself with how good you are.

You scroll through your photos just to relive the fun in your head. But then get depressed that you are actually not having fun.

You have already eaten everything in the house, and it's only a week into summer.

You go back home and all of the sudden your parents still think their rules apply to you. HA.

And then they expect you to still do chores.

Netflix is starting to sound boring instead of relaxing.

You kind of miss the library, even though you probably only go to socialize.

There is no place that delivers food at 3 a.m. Why? Because you no longer live in a college town.

Your siblings (and everyone else in your house) are driving you bat s**t crazy.

Every family member you see tries to talk to you about your future and you would rather be banging your head against a brick wall.

Your parents are starting to get seriously concerned about your alcohol consumption.

You are sick of actually having to coordinate designated drivers for your nights.

You know why summer is not my favorite season? Because it doesn't fall at the same time as pledge season. Where's a pledge when you need 'em?

The people that stayed home and went to community college are no longer a source of entertainment; they are now just getting annoying.

For some unknown reason, drunkenly punching walls is not sponsored by parents.

You have had to come up with new ways to entertain yourself.

Your pets don't even recognize you. So really what is the point of being home?

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?

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.

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.
