18 Things I'll Never Take For Granted Again At College

In This Article:

Leaving campus so suddenly last semester was like a punch in the face. It shook me up and showed me real quick how my college experience may never be the same again. Moving off campus mid-semester was heartbreaking, to say the least. And as I sat in my childhood bedroom, writing papers and taking finals, I couldn't help but think about how truly lucky and blessed I had been to be living on campus. I missed everything about it. I vowed to my friends, and to myself, that I would never again take for granted all my favorite things (and not so favorite things) about living at my beloved Villanova University.

1. Living ON campus 

2. Being a short walk away from class

3. Living with my best friends 

4. My Holy Grounds Oatmeal 

5. Waking up early to make it class on time

6. Walking through the Quad

7. Being able to walk next door to see my friends

8. Going to basketball games

9. Sitting in Conn

10. Hammocking with my friends 

11. Going to frat parties 

(If we're even allowed to go to them ever again)

12. Holy Grounds Iced Coffee

13. Wells Fargo Tailgates 

14. Late night Sparket runs (for ice cream, usually) 

15. My go-to Conn wrap 

16. Running into people I did not want to be running into everywhere

Well maybe I didn't miss this one as much...

17. Going to the same school as my sister  

18. Being a train ride away from Philly

We Heart It

Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
