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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
