Home is not a place...it's a feeling

Going away to college has its perks. Yes, you get to be on your own and do whatever you want without someone telling you what to do. But if you are anything like me, I tend to get home sick. These are things most, if not all college students look forward to when coming home.

1. Your family

Your family is the #1 thing about being home. You miss them when you are away at school, but when you get home you know it's going to be a great time.

2. Your home friends

Nothing is better than reuniting with the friends that you haven't seen in months!

3. Your pets

You Probably would think that your pets don't notice you're gone, well just wait until you get home, it's the best feeling in the world. They are just so excited to see you!

4. Going to your favorite restaurant


5. Home cooked meals


Easy Mac and Ramen cannot compare to your mom's home cooked meals.

6. Watching TV with your family


Family time on the couch is always needed after a long day.

7. Your room...but most importantly your bed


Coming home to your nice, big bed is a huge plus. Especially when you go from a twin bed back to your queen sized bed at home.

8. Shower


Sharing a shower with fifty-something people at school can be annoying. Coming home to your own shower never felt any better.

9. Free washing machine


You can put your quarters back in your wallet because when you're home, you don't have to spend all of your money on laundry!

10. Late night snacking is easier


As a college student, having your fridge full at school is hard. But when you come home, it's like the food gods (your mom) read your mind or stomach.


Coming home is definitely worth it, and much needed after a long semester or week of class.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.
