Although it may be quite difficult to leave home after a long period of time, you love school and feel like the best version of yourself there. Some things change, but mostly, everything is the same. I mean, weren't you ready to go back to being your own person anyway... You know, no rules?

1. It is FREEZING!!!!!

While you were sunning yourself on a beautiful beach, the temperatures dropped by the second. You’re basically going back to the tundra. By freezing, I don't just mean zip up your jacket and throw on a cute scarf. I mean literally freezing to the point where you're gasping for air and touching your nose to make sure it hasn't fallen off.

2. As excited as you are to get back to school, you’re totally going to miss home.

More than you did when you came back from Thanksgiving. It’s understandable; we were home for a few weeks, and that started to feel normal again. But welcome back to the sylly week. Spring break isn’t too far away.

3. It’s totally strange to start new classes in the middle of the year.

We’re all used to having the same schedules and routines for the whole academic year, but that is now a thing of the past. Coming back and starting over is refreshing but also feels funny. Hey, look on the bright side; at least you had no homework over break!

4. Remember that senioritis you had a few months ago? It’s back.

You couldn't care less about school for a minute, but once you're back into the swing of things… to the library, we go! The school part of school is so important, and although you’ll never truly forget that, getting back into it takes a little bit of adjusting.

5. College is the best place on Earth, and you wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

You are as happy as can be at this new place you call home. As freezing and snowy or hot and sticky and challenging it may be, you would not trade this chapter of your life for anything in the world. Your school is your happy place. Don’t forget how lucky you are to be there.
