5 Perks Of Being Sent Home From College

I know we all want to go back, but let's look at the bright side.

With all classes being put online due to coronavirus and many students being forced to move back home, we've all just lost a major sense of freedom. Not to mention we lost the structure of being on campus for classes. And while we may be quarantined with our families who are destined to drive us mad, it's not a totally negative thing. Here are five perks I have already noticed since being at home.

1. Hanging out with your pets

Many of us had to say goodbye to our pets when we moved away to school, now you have unlimited access to them.

2. Home cooked meals and not having to pay for your own food

Everything tastes better when you don't have to pay for it or when it's cooked by mom (love you mom). By the way, yes, this is spaghetti in the form of a cake.

3. Family time

I miss my siblings like crazy when I'm gone, but I know this isn't the case for everyone.

4. Being back in your own room

Your bed at home is always more comfortable than your bed at school (you know I'm not wrong)

5. Seeing hometown friends more often, despite the plea for social distance

It's hard to move away from friends and not see them as often. I don't know about you, but I've been out of the house almost every day seeing friends that I don't go to school with anymore. The photo above is a picture of my friend with her dog at Hanging Rock State Park.

I know moving back home has been a major upset for all of us, and the seniors have had it the worst by far. But we have to look for a bright side in every bad situation.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
