Being Home From College As Told By The Office

Being home from college is great but it does take a lot of getting used to. You go from having all of the freedom in the world to telling your parents every move you make and sometimes this can be a tough transition. Chores, working, not having to wake up for an 8am class, and even not having home work to do all takes some getting used to.

Going so long with out seeing a dog and being unsure of how to react when you finally see one again.

Dogs are mans best friend but being in college and not seeing one for a couple of months may make you unsure of how to react. But trust me this feeling will soon fade and you will attack a dog with love and all you'll want to do is pet all of the dogs you see.

Asking your parents to please let you go out with your friends knowing that you have work tomorrow.

Asking your parents to do things after going so long without needing permission can seem like a big pain in the butt. In the end they just want to know where you are in case something bad happens or if they need to contact you.

When you get your first paycheck from work knowing how broke college has made you.

.

Even if it was just a $100 paycheck you are still excited because your bank account is finally in the triple digits again.

Deciding what food you should order when your hanging out with your friends and realize you have a total of $20 to spend.

Pizza is inexpensive and delicious, so there is never any fighting when someone asks if we should order pizza.

When your mom wakes you up to give you a list of chores that you need to do by a certain time.

Chores are already one of the worst things to do, but its even worse when your parents wake you up just so you can do them.

Realizing that its almost the new year and you want to look good in your NYE outfit.

Diets are a good thing although losing weight and eating right is one of the hardest things to do unless you have motivation and a good support system.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads.
