10 Reasons Going Home From School Is The Best

Because we all need these things every now and then

10 Reasons Going Home From School Is The Best
Brittany Clark

Sure, everyone can agree that they have being away from home to attend college, but everyone also can't deny that they love these things about coming home.

1. Home cooked meals

This one explains itself. Everyone needs to stray away from that dining hall food every now and then.

2. Laundry

If you’re lucky, your mom will do this for you when you come home.

3. Pets

Leaving them to go off to school is possibly the worst heartbreak, so you can imagine both of our excitement when we reunite.

4. Hometown friends

College friends are great, but nobody can compare to the people you grew up with.

5. Your own bed

Because sleeping in a twin bed every night in your dorm gets old real fast.

6. Your car

Sure, taking a bus around campus and the city can be nice sometimes, but nothing’s better than the freedom associated with driving yourself around.

7. Sleep

No one is around to keep you up at all hours of the night.

8. Having your own space

If you’re lucky, this means you don’t have to worry about not getting any time to yourself because you finally have your own room again.

9. Letting loose

You don’t have to worry about all of the responsibilities of being an adult that come with being away from home.

10. Groceries

Nine times out of ten, there's something always there at home to snack on, and you don't have to worry about leaving your dorm to fend for yourself when you've run out of snacks.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
