10 Reasons Why It's Hard To Be Home from College
http://whytoread.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/best-books-book-youll-ever-read.jpg

1. The Reality.

The reality of coming home can be hard because you must come to terms with all of things that changed since you left. Thing's have definitely changed....like everything.


2. Not Seeing Your Friends Every. Single. Day!

You get used to seeing all of your friends every day, since they live either on your hall or within walking distance of your dorm!


3. Parents (Being Parented).

As college students, we’ve gotten used to doing what we want, when we want. We don’t have to ask to do something or go somewhere. Having our parents know everything that we are doing can seems like they’re smothering us.


4. You've changed since you left in August.

Its inevitable, you’ve changed since you left in August. Whether you’re a freshman or a senior, being around new people in a new place, you’re going to change. You mature, and you learn things about yourself in college. This is the time to try new things and explore what you like or you don’t like, and by this point in college you’ve discovered a few of these things already.


5. Home Doesn't Feel Like Home Anymore.

What is home anymore? Home is at school and home is back in your hometown. You have two homes, and it’s confusing. You miss one place while you’re at the other.


6. All The Questions.

"How's School going?" "Studying hard?" "Are you glad to be home?"


7. What is Relaxing?

No exams to study for? No homework?


8. The Awkward Encounters.

You thought you wouldn't see some of the people from high school again...and then you do.


9. Boredom

After the excitement of coming home wears off, there seems to be nothing to do!



10. Packing All Of Your Stuff To Go Home.

How do I have this much stuff? I don't remember having this much stuff...

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
