29 Thoughts You Have When You Come Home From College

1. Can’t wait to be home and in my own bed!
My bed is my favorite piece of furniture in my house (along with the fridge). No other bed will compare to the one I have at home.

2. Free food!
F-R-E-E F-O-O-D!

3. I really don’t want to unpack.
I honestly don’t mind living out of a suitcase for three months.

4. Is coming home at 3 a.m. still acceptable?
If your parents are anything like mine, then you know what it’s like to be constantly asked what time you’re coming home. Don’t get me wrong, my parents still give me a good amount of freedom, but I’m not used to having to tell anyone when I’m coming home. In all honesty, I don’t even know when I’ll be home.

5. It’s official: my dog is my only friend.
And I'm fine with that.

6. Maybe I’ll stay in tonight.
I don’t know about you, but staying in and lying on the couch seems a lot more amusing that taking the train to see my friends …

7. Okay, I’m bored now…

8. But really though, where are all of my friends?

9. So, can I go back to school now?
I love being home and all, but it’s time.

10. No, I don’t know how my world religions class will help me find a job.
If there’s anything that my parents love to ask me, it’s how every single one of my classes is going to help me find a career. I don’t know, it just seemed like an interesting class.

11. Don’t bother me for the next three days; I have a date with Netflix.
"Orange is the New Black" is my only priority right now.

12. Yes, no more wearing flip flops in the shower!

13. All of my #TBT posts are of my friends at school…
I need new friends.

14. Mom, buy me this.
Guilt-tripping my mom into buying me things “because I’m never home” is the best.

15. No seriously, is it time to go back now?

16. How many more weeks?!?

17. Sorry Mom, I forgot I had to tell you where I was … every second of the day.

18.Why is my best friend not right down the hall from me anymore?
This is stupid.

19. Is frat-hopping still a thing?

20. You mean, I have to pay for drinks now?
You see, this is why we need frats.

21. Why can’t all of my friends from school just come home with me?

22. “Hey! How’s it …” Never mind, I don’t know them.
I’m so used to seeing someone I know walking down the street on campus, I forgot I’m back in Chicago. Oops.

23. Wait, I still have to do my own laundry?

24. Why am I still poor?

25. Yes, I can drive again!

26. Ugh, I forgot traffic was a thing.

27. You’re making me pay for gas?
I’ll walk.

28. So, about this whole friends thing …
Yeah, where are they?

29. Okay, joke's over — take me back now …
Please?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
