You might not think much of it, but there are some major things that you have to get used to once you come home from being at college for so long. The place you would only be for short periods of time now becomes your home again, and it can be a little weird at first.

1. Asking permission to do things

You're so used to doing basically whatever you want at college, so coming home and having to ask to use a car or go hangout with friends is a little annoying.

2. Sleeping in a room by yourself

At least for me, when I first come home from school it takes a little while to get used to sleeping in a room by myself when I've become so used to having roommates.

3. Having so much free time

I need to start work soon because I've realized this past week how bored I would get if I wasn't doing anything. Without class or work to do, I have so much free time that I don't know what to do with.

4. Changing your routine

Being at home, I have a totally different routine. It's one thing to have a few classes every day, but it's going to take some getting used to going to work every day from 9-5.

5. Different standards/expectations

I think that I am fairly organized most of the time, but there are definitely things that I don't always keep the most clean or neat. At school I can get away with keeping things a little messy, but at home my parents definitely have a different standard for how to keep things.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
