Don't get me wrong, I love college. I love being on campus, surrounded by my friends every day and learning about things that I actually want to learn about. There are many good things, but as I prepare myself to move back to campus to start the spring semester, I will miss some things I have gotten used to while living at home for these few weeks.
1. Going out on the weekends again
It's been awhile since I've been out, so I'm excited to start having those awesome weekends again!
2. Having to get used to campus food again
Transitioning from mom's home-cooked meals to dining hall food can be rough at first.
3. Realizing we actually have class
I've forgotten how to read, write and sit still for 50 minutes.
4. Trying to "get back out there"
It's been a couple weeks. You're rusty, but it's OK.
5. You're living on your own again
And you forget what's like to have to make decisions and buy your own groceries.
6. Having to deal with sickness without a parent
And calling them on the phone for help.
7. Having access to the recreation center again like...
8. Saying goodbye to your pets
So you cherish those moments you see a dog on campus
9. Seeing your friends every day again
You haven't seen your college friends in a couple weeks, so it's going to be nice to see them every day again.
10. Getting used to sleeping at school again...
You're used to sleeping in every day at home without any interruptions.
11. ... AND dealing with loud neighbors again
And wondering if they will ever shut up.
12. Having to literally walk everywhere
Unless you're lucky enough to have your car parked right outside instead of a 15 minute walk away.
