11 Gifs That Describe Being Home from College
The Choice

As Christmas/Winter Break comes to a close, and college students prepare to head back to the dorm life and school life, I've been thinking about all the common things that happen while we take a short vacation to our hometown. Some of these might be a bit more tailored to small towns, just because my experiences are with small towns.

1. When you get asked the same questions everywhere you go.

"Where are you going to school?" "What's your major?" "What do you plan to do after you graduate?"

2. When you see someone from high school you don't want to talk to.

You really don't wanna have that horrible conversation with them.

3. When you have constant doctor/dentist/haircut appointments.

You're constantly driving from one to the other.

4. When you don't know what to without school work.

Honestly, what am I supposed to do with my life?

5. When you meet up with old friends.

It's a great thing.

6. When people ask you how your love life is.

Nonexistent, please stop asking.

7. When you get more sleep than you have for the last semester.

It's so nice, but yet, so unfamiliar.

8. When you've watched your entire Netflix queue.

Twice.

9. When you miss your college friends.

All you have is your group chat.

10. When you eat food from your hometown restaurants.

Between that and Mom's meals, it's great.

11. Trying to pack to go back to school.

How to you get all of your Christmas gifts and extra clothes in your bag to leave is a challenge.


Love it or hate it, we've all gotta get away from break, and go back to school now.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
