5 Differences Between Being At School And Being At Home

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.

So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
