Returning to School After Summer Vacation

And so it begins.

Returning to School After Summer Vacation

In just one week, I will be starting my senior year of college.

There are lots of mixed emotions that come with that transition back to Tennessee, but ultimately I am ready to see what will come next for me.

When I go back to school, I will be leaving a lot of things behind-- like my great family, my handsome boyfriend, my best friend, and a town that holds my memories...I will miss these people greatly, but there are some other things that will take some getting used to when I'm gone.

1. My big comfy bed.
The twin size half inch thick mattress in my apartment just doesn't cut it some nights.

2. Home-cooked meals and dinners that I don't have to pay for.

3. My bathroom.
It's so nice and private.

4. Being able to drive around without fearing a 25 dollar parking ticket.

5. A bedroom floor that is big enough to make a mess in.

6. My sweet, sweet puppy.

7. The lack of homework I currently have.

8. Sleeping in until 10 every morning without having to worry about being late for class.

9. The convenience of having my laundry done.

10. My favorite Mexican restaurant.

11. My job and money supply. We all know that won't last long.

12. Having time to read for pleasure-- even though I didn't partake in it as much as I should've or wanted to, it was nice knowing I had the time.

I am excited for the adventure that is within College and Senior year, but Home is where my heart is and will be this semester.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
