5 Reasons Why College Students May Or May Not Want To Go Back To School After Winter Break

As the winter break for college nears an end, many of us, like me, have mixed feelings about going back. Here are 5 reasons why we may or may not want to go back to school.

1. Get to See Our Friends

As college students, we've grown accustomed to the people we see every day and they have become good friends of ours. I know many of us are missing our friends from college and are really looking forward to seeing them soon. I know I am.

2. Second Semester

Many people dread second semester because let's face it, we’re getting closer to summer and we all know second semester is going to go by so slow. However, there is some good that comes with this: new classes. Which means a fresh start with grades. So second semester could either go very well or very bad. Depends on who you ask.

3. Dining Hall Food

There’s nothing like a home cooked meal, and I know many of us are going to miss Mom and Dads cooking when we have to head back to school.

4. Freedom

Being at college, there are so many things you can do. The best part is never having to worry about a curfew or letting someone know where you are every second you're gone. Freedom is what many of us are looking forward to.

5. Packing To Go Back To School

If you’re like me, I packed a ton of stuff to bring back home. A lot of us are home for at least a month, so having to pack a months worth of clothes and shoes was definitely a pain. Even worse: unpacking when we get back to college.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
