Five Things You Miss Most About College

When summer is no longer your favorite season.

May 26, 2015

It has only been about three weeks since exams ended and everyone dispersed back to their hometowns for the summer, but you're already finding yourself ready to go back to school. During high school, summer vacation was the most anticipated season of the year. But there is so much more to miss in college. Although you may not miss the work, you miss just about everything else.

1. Staying out as late as you want.

You're used to staying out as late as you want, but now your parents are trying to reestablish some old "curfew."

2. Friends right next door.

Now your friends are a little farther than a five minute walk away and you have to entertain yourself...

3. Meal Plan.

You can no longer just "swipe your card" whenever you want food. You have to pay with actual money..

4. Leisure Time.

You're finding it more difficult to watch unhealthy amounts of Netflix and take four naps a day without being judged.

5. Constant Entertainment.

On a college campus, there is always something going on. Whether it be a party, a function, or a sporting event, there is always something to look forward to.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together.
