6 Things That Make You Miss College And Want To Go Back, Like, Yesterday

In This Article:

Yes, going home for breaks is great. You get to actually sleep in, relax and, well, not do homework for once. However, there are also things that you miss, and once you start missing them you're so ready to be back. Here are 6 things that will make you realize you already miss school.

1. Friends

This one is probably the most obvious, but friends is a big one. It's especially difficult if you're from out of state because it's either a super long drive or a plane ride to see them over the break. When you go from seeing them everyday to not, it's a big switch. It's also like a separation issue.

Honestly, this gif is probably you next time you see them.

2. The "Let's Avoid Homework" Netflix Binges

Because everyone knows it's not the same when you actually HAVE time to binge Netflix. You just want to avoid homework and Netflix really just isn't that fun when you don't have something else to do.

3. Whatever Series You're Watching With Your Roommates

You just know that they'd hate you if you watched ahead... but it's so tempting. Maybe just watch ahead and don't let them know? Or facetime date it?

4. Not Having To Exercise At The Gym

You know, because the stress walk to class when you're running late is good enough. The walk that would have you sweating in 20 degree weather just doesn't exist when you're at home.

5. Homework? Maybe?

I mean at least it was something productive to do with your time? During winter break, that productive time is spent on catching up on all the sleep that you lost the semester before.

6. Basketball Games

Or whichever sporting event that you're into. The games are always just a little too small in the student section during break. You just hope your team knows you're cheering them on from home.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
