11 Things You're Going to Miss About College
US News

College is like nothing else. Your campus is basically like a little town designed just for students attending that college, and in that town is everything that you may possibly need. Friends, food, parties, anything imaginable is only a close walk away. Once we leave that little town, whether it be for graduation and going out into the real world, or for a break, we really begin to realize how much it means to us and how life without having everything at our fingertips is really scary.

1. Not being able to see your friends everyday, and whenever you want.

Gone are the days are walking across the hall to hang out with your friends.

2. Having an excuse to not get a job.

"Sorry, mom and dad, classes are just too time demanding for a job " no longer works as a valid excuse when school isn't in session.

3. Going out whenever you feel like it.

So what if it's a Monday? There's half off drinks at the bar.

4. Your freedom.

Back to asking the parents for their permission to do things.

5. The campus organizations that you're involved in.

Greek life, athletics, no matter what it is, it's a part of you and you'll miss it when you leave.

6. Your roommate.


Weirdly enough, it gets lonely not having someone sleeping 10 feet away from you.

7. Not having to pay for food.

Never knew how much I take my meal plan for granted.

8. Not being able to walk everywhere.

Since when has gas been this expensive?

9. Late-night fast food runs.

Getting hungry and grabbing your friends for a 2 a.m. McDonald's run may or may not be so easy now.

10. Constantly having something to do.


It's never a dull moment when you're at college, but when you're home, there are way too many dull moments to even count.

11. The general atmosphere.


College life is like no other, and it's something that you really do miss once you leave.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
