1. Doing Your Laundry

One of the biggest struggles of dorm life is having to share a laundry room with a whole building full of people. From the incidents when your laundry is taken out of the drier, to when your laundry basket mysteriously goes missing. Basically, laundry is an all day event.

2. Missing Mom's Home-Cooked Meals

Let's face it, returning back to school after nearly a month of your moms spectacular home cooked meals is heartbreaking. Although the cafe does have a lot more options than mom offers at dinner time, nothing beats mom's Sunday dinners!

3. Homework

The most obvious of all struggles, returning back to school and being bombarded with loads of homework. Between your core classes you're required to take and some electives thrown in there, homework will sure give you a run for your money when you return back from your care-free Winter break.

4. A New Schedule

Finding time between work, school, and friends is always difficult, but when you get back from break it's a little more jumbled than usual. You'll have a whole new set of classes and obligations. It's VERY stressful, but don't worry after a week or two you'll get use to your new schedule!
