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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
