What I'll Miss About Bristol Community College During Winter Break

School is very stressful but I am not ready for winter break and I am going to miss quite a lot about it.

I am an active community college student with little-to-no life outside of the borders of my college campuses.

I am active in my college's student governmental body, I work as a tutor at my college, I am an honors student, and I run a club at one of the college's campuses. These activities make me stay engaged and active during the school semesters but often I begin counting down the days until winter break with anticipation for having little to do during the class-free period of the year. Then, the first day of winter break comes around and I realize that I have nothing to do for the next month and a half. Here are the seven things I'm going to miss about my college, Bristol Community College, during the school break.


1. Pay Day

On the Friday after break starts, I'll wake up and quickly notice that I am without paychecks for the winter break. During the school year, I am employed as a tutor for various college subjects and I get paid for it. This is a harsh thing for me to go without, seeing how poorly I manage my money even when I do get paid.

2. Club

At my college, I (along with several other great club officers) organize and run a comic book club where students that share the common interest of comic books meet up and discuss various related topics. Comic books are a passion of mine and it is a great opportunity to talk to and meet up with others who share this passion; however, the club doesn't meet over winter break and I'll be stuck reading comics alone during the break.

3. Friends

Many of my friends are much like me and they spend a vast majority of their time camping out at the campus between classes and often we entertain each other with a game of Magic the Gathering or accompany each other while doing homework. The holidays are filled with family time and trips for many of us and therefore we hardly see each other while out of classes.

4. Faculty and Staff

This is going to sound extremely lame, but the faculty and the staff at every one of the campuses that I attend are tremendously helpful and friendly day after day. I can always count on them for whatever I need and they are also just super nice people to hang around with and talk to.

5. Daily Schedule

The idea of a daily schedule has always been important for me because it keeps me busy and active. School is an effective way to keep me engaged and this is a big thing I will miss. I feel that a lot of people struggle when they have no schedule or routine and I am no exception.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
