1) Food

I love the food from here! There is a pizzeria nearby that has THE BEST pizza ever! There is also a Bubble Tea shop that is a must-go-to! I love being home because I don't have these things near my school.

2) Location

It is so nice to be so close to the New York City! When I am down there, me and my friends MUST go into Manhattan. This time, we are heading to Black Tap for some milkshakes, and I can't wait! I have missed the city so much!

3) Friends

(More like my second family!)

I am so grateful that I get to come home from being away for so long and they still treat me the same. I am so glad that I am loved by the most amazing people ever. They mean so much to me and I am so glad I have them by my side.

4) Family

My family usually comes to visit me more often at school which is wonderful, but when I'm home, I get to see all of my family. I love being able to catch up with them. My nanny makes the best Fettuccine Alfredo and she is making that on Saturday. I also get to see all my cousins who make me so happy.

MY DOG! I know this sounds silly, but being around my dog just makes me feel complete! I love how happy he gets when he sees me. He is the sweetest dog ever and I've missed him so much. He is nine years old and he is getting old causing most of his face is starting to turn white. But, he is the still the cutest dog. I always hate going back to school because he always has this look on his face like, "Where are my humans going?" and then when my family comes back home he is so confused because he doesn't see me.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.

Living in the dorms can tear down your immune system.

1. Drink lots of tea with honey.

2. Get a good amount of rest.

3. Make an appointment with the health center or at a doctor's office.

4. Stock up on soup and crackers.

5. If you are able to, go home.

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

You gotta do what you gotta do.

1.Shower

2. Sleep

3. Schedule

4. Eat Well

5. Exercise

6. Socialize

Leslie gets it.

Your professor mentions there's a test in a few days and you didn't know about it.

You spend all day long in class and now realize you also have to spend the next few nights awake studying.

You take out your textbook and notes, but don't have the energy to actually read them.

You keep reading the same sentence over and over, but it still doesn't make sense.

You can’t focus, and your roommate suggests you go to the library.

You realize there are still over 50 pages left to read.

You reach the two-hour mark of studying and get delirious and want to give up.

You take a Netflix and snack break.

Your friends told you they were staying in with you to study, but they end up going out.

Your friends ask why you need to study instead of having fun.

Your friends send you pictures of them out having fun, but you're stuck in the library and want to run away.

You walk out of the test and realize staying in and studying was worth it because you definitely aced it.
