We all could not wait to be finished with finals and enjoy the summer sun after this last semester. But now a few weeks have passed and you find yourself missing the campus atmosphere and your dorm buildings more and more each day.

1. Your Friends

You missed them the minute you turned off campus. You miss having someone to hang out with at all times of the week instead of sitting home alone on a Friday night (possibly writing an article instead of going out).

2. Free Time

I am sure your summer is filled with tons of free time but the value of free time is so much more important during the school year. Finding out you have time to take a nap or watch Netflix is like a Christmas miracle.

3. Professors

This is more of a small school perk but it’s always nice to be able to stop by their office and have a quick talk about what’s been going on.

4. Not Knowing Everyone You See

Being at school is nice because most people don’t know you and you don’t know them. When you’re home it’s a completely different story. No matter where you go you see at least two people from high school and you are forced to talk to them and listen about how fabulous their life has been.

5. Freedom

If you’re like most college students, you are living at home this summer; which is nice until you remember you’re living at home. That means hello chores and being the family taxi driver for your younger siblings.

6. Always Having Something to Do

Instead of lying in bed with nothing to do you could be at your friend’s room or going out to get food or anything else college kids do.

7. Midnight Dance Parties

What better to do than turn up some throwbacks and dance around your room at 2 a.m?

8. The CAF

It may not have the best food and your mom’s home-cooked meals beat it by a long shot, but sometimes it’s nice to have the crappy food to talk about at dinner with your friends.
