A year of college is now complete!! As I am writing this, I have been back at home for exactly a week. Here are some things that have come to mind with all my recent spare time and lack of school work to keep me occupied. I am sure most college students could relate to these thoughts that have been running through my mind.
"I definitely brought too much stuff"
Packing up all the stuff from your dorm room is in no way fun. What is even worse is bringing it all back home and attempting to find a place for it all. After looking at all the stuff I took, I am determined to not take as much with me to MSU for sophomore year. My room is currently half dorm decor and half all the other items that were already there. It's a mess.
"Time to catch up on sleep"
Finals wear you out! While technically you cannot make up for lost sleep, there's no harm in trying and allowing yourself to sleep in for once!
"It's nice to have my own room"
My dorm was a nice size. I in no way felt cramped and loved sharing the room with my roommate, but it is nice to not have to worry about splitting a space equally. My room is all my space!
"I miss my college friends"
It's weird not being able to walk down the hall or walk somewhere close by to see your friends. Now, I am one if not more states away from them. Sure we will keep in touch this summer, but it is not the same as being able to see them in person whenever
" I wonder when my friends from (insert any university) will be home"
Finally, now that it is summertime I can see my friends from home! Some are already back while others are currently taking their finals. I am just excited for us to all be back in the same place again.
All in all, being back home for over 3 months is an adjustment to make.
But I am happy to be home and can't wait to have more fun.
