So it's almost time to go back to school. In high school, we dreaded the end of the freedom that summer allowed us and dreaded getting mountains of homework. But after being in college and having to come home for the summer, here are just a few reasons why college kids are excited to go back to school.
1. Being back on campus
Being surrounded by college students means the opportunity to make connections is endless. Campus also starts to feel a little like home, and you miss it when you're away.
2. My apartment.
Living on your own just makes you feel like an adult (even if you're not always ready to act like one).
3. The school spirit
There's nothing like the feeling of being surrounded by a bunch of people who are just as excited as you are about your school.
4. Being in a college town
College towns are geared toward college students with fun things to do and delicious places to eat at. What could be better?
5. Taking classes for my major
Being able to finally take the classes makes you actually look forward to going to class and learning about what you're interested in.
6. The binge-watching of shows while procrastinating homework.
While you may love your classes, it doesn't mean that you love the homework.
7. The clubs and different organizations on campus
Once you've found your niche, it's great to get back to it after a long time away. It's also nice checking out what other organizations there are on campus to join.
8. Getting my life back on my schedule
While it's nice to be home during the summer with your family, getting back to your own schedule at college feels great.
9. And last but not least, my friends
You meet some of the best people at college, and it's hard when you enjoy a whole year with them and then you have to spend a summer apart.
