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.
