Coming Home From College Is Amazing

Ever since I can remember, I have wanted to leave my home, and move on to bigger things. Many people can relate especially since the thought process is I am now 18 and need to spread my wings. However, after a full year of college, I can say being home is the best feeling in the world.

Now you may ask why would I think being home is bettter than being at college or living on my own? Why would I want to revoke my new freedom? Well the answers are simple, home cooked meals, sleeping in your OWN bed, and if you are ever sick you can just lay in bed and hope that your mom will bring you soup or take care of you.

I know that my first few weeks of college were pretty fun but after that the boredom sets in. You have been eating dining hall food gaining the freshman 15 (now 30) and your bed is hard and to top it all of you caught the college sickness. I know that this is common between a lot of freshman.

College really can't replace the comfort of being at home. Now you may think that I am revoking my new found freedom. However, you really aren't because after a year of living away of even a week or two your parents finally start seeing you as an adult (I know mine did). Therefore, you still won't have a curfew even if your parents find out you're at the library till 1 a.m.

In the end, coming and being home is the best feeling ever.odys

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
