Back to school, back to school, to prove to dad that I'm not a fool...

Moving back to school after a long summer off can definitely be challenging, especially for those moving back onto campus. You are used to living back home in a house with your family and now you're headed back to campus life. Some college kids love the on-campus experience, others hate it. Here's 10 struggles of moving back to campus:

1. Campus Food

The food may be convenient, but it is definitely not good or good for you.

2. Mom isn't here

Who is supposed to buy your groceries, make your appointments, and do you laundry?

3. Homework

Endless amounts of homework are given to you weekly and you'll pull all nighters just to get it done.

4. No pets

Dorms don't allow you to bring your furry friend along, no matter how bad you want to.

5. Mornings

Waking up for class does not sound appealing.

6. Learning how to write again

You go the whole summer without taking notes and it feels as though you have forgotten how to write completely.

7. Living with another person

Even if you really like your roommate, living in a tiny room with another person can be difficult.

8. Shower shoes

Do I really need to explain? Wearing shoes in the shower is so wrong.

9. Sleeping in a Twin XL

Your bed back home is most definitely softer and bigger.

10. You have to "adult"

You are on your own for everything once you move back to school.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time.
