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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
