Four Reasons Why I Am Going To Miss College

You are insane if you don't realize how great it is.

Four Reasons Why I Am Going To Miss College
Huffington Post

I can give you over a hundred reasons why I am going to miss college. These last few years of my life have honestly been amazing and I almost cry of the thought that it will one day it has to come to an end. The four years go by quick and you are insane if you don’t realize how great it all is. Here is a list of the things I realized; I will miss the most about college.

1) Being My Own Decision Maker

If you weren’t into studying in high school, it may be a different story in college. You choose the classes you take and who you want to become in this world. Passion for what you love leads to dedication and hard work. You truly become your own boss and choose what’s best for you.


2) Sleeping In

Never in your life will you be able to start your day in the late afternoon or even at night. I will forever miss taking my day naps before class or being able to wear pajamas to class without being judged. Once you hit the real world, sleeping in is not always an option.


3) Freedom

These are the years we transform into adulthood. Although that sounds both boring and exciting, no child or adult has the freedom we do. We have no obligations and no one hovering over us telling us what to do. We will never have the chance to travel during breaks, take random road trips, or even study aboard. You will never be more young or free than you are right now in college.


4) The Friendships

The people you meet in college, will impact your whole life. You never meet someone by mistake, everything and everyone has a reason. The friendships you make with these four years will build you as a person. These good friends laugh with you and push you to be better. You may never encounter more people with the same goals, aspirations, and interests as you. You will always remember the ones who stayed up all night with you as you panic, thinking you will fail your exam or fail out of school. The friendships you make in college will never be forgotten and will last a lifetime.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

Of course, we all know that James Madison University is the greatest university in Virginia (perhaps even the entire country). There are many events and moments at JMU that are cherished and remembered by all dukes.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.
