29 Thoughts You Have When You Come Home From College

1. Can’t wait to be home and in my own bed!
My bed is my favorite piece of furniture in my house (along with the fridge). No other bed will compare to the one I have at home.

2. Free food!
F-R-E-E F-O-O-D!

3. I really don’t want to unpack.
I honestly don’t mind living out of a suitcase for three months.

4. Is coming home at 3 a.m. still acceptable?
If your parents are anything like mine, then you know what it’s like to be constantly asked what time you’re coming home. Don’t get me wrong, my parents still give me a good amount of freedom, but I’m not used to having to tell anyone when I’m coming home. In all honesty, I don’t even know when I’ll be home.

5. It’s official: my dog is my only friend.
And I'm fine with that.

6. Maybe I’ll stay in tonight.
I don’t know about you, but staying in and lying on the couch seems a lot more amusing that taking the train to see my friends …

7. Okay, I’m bored now…

8. But really though, where are all of my friends?

9. So, can I go back to school now?
I love being home and all, but it’s time.

10. No, I don’t know how my world religions class will help me find a job.
If there’s anything that my parents love to ask me, it’s how every single one of my classes is going to help me find a career. I don’t know, it just seemed like an interesting class.

11. Don’t bother me for the next three days; I have a date with Netflix.
"Orange is the New Black" is my only priority right now.

12. Yes, no more wearing flip flops in the shower!

13. All of my #TBT posts are of my friends at school…
I need new friends.

14. Mom, buy me this.
Guilt-tripping my mom into buying me things “because I’m never home” is the best.

15. No seriously, is it time to go back now?

16. How many more weeks?!?

17. Sorry Mom, I forgot I had to tell you where I was … every second of the day.

18.Why is my best friend not right down the hall from me anymore?
This is stupid.

19. Is frat-hopping still a thing?

20. You mean, I have to pay for drinks now?
You see, this is why we need frats.

21. Why can’t all of my friends from school just come home with me?

22. “Hey! How’s it …” Never mind, I don’t know them.
I’m so used to seeing someone I know walking down the street on campus, I forgot I’m back in Chicago. Oops.

23. Wait, I still have to do my own laundry?

24. Why am I still poor?

25. Yes, I can drive again!

26. Ugh, I forgot traffic was a thing.

27. You’re making me pay for gas?
I’ll walk.

28. So, about this whole friends thing …
Yeah, where are they?

29. Okay, joke's over — take me back now …
Please?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

16 Secrets Anthropology Majors Never Admit To

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
