5 Differences Between Being At School And Being At Home

Being home and being at school are two polar opposite worlds.

We all love going home for break and not having to deal with homework, annoying professors, and the stress of overall school. Yet, being at school has a completely different vibe than being home with your family, and, if you're anything like me, sometimes those changes are massive. So here are things that are different between school and home.

1. Parties

School

We all love the Greek system, and parties are one of the many great things you get to do while at school.

Home

But we all know that when we go home and party with people in our hometown things are just plain awkward and it's not the same.

2. Swearing

School

I know, we all swear so much even if we try not to. It's just a habit.

Home

And then...we go home and try to remember that our parents think we are innocent and amazing kids so we have to act the part.

3. Dealing with responsibilities

School

Because how many times have we said we'd only watch one more episode...

Home...(aka your mom making you)

Then comes the time when we go home and become our parents' own personal slaves.

4. Eating

School

We have all been here. We all know we are lazy, hungry and broke. So what better to eat than our favorite top ramen?

Home

But when we go home, we realize how much we missed our parents making real food for us.

5. Your Bed

School

Nothing screams uncomfortable like a twin size bed. Even with a mattress pad, they honestly suck.

Home


Then there's the glorious moment of going home and sleeping like a rock in your own bed. There's no greater feeling in the world.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
