8 Things I Miss From College That Being Home On Break Just Can’t Give Me

Being on winter break offers the perfect escape from school, classes, homework, and stress. While I enjoy coming home and seeing my family and friends, I also love my life at college. Some of the things I miss the most are things that I can't get here at home. Though I miss these things now, break will be over before I know it and I'll be enjoying these things again.

Until then, here are all the things I miss about being at college.

1. Being able to do whatever, whenever

At college, I'm down to hang out with my friends late into the night doing the most random things. But at home, I don't have this freedom since I work.

2. Seeing my college friends regularly

Being home gives you the chance to meet up with your high school friends, but it's definitely a bummer not being able to see your college friends happen for a while. Thankfully FaceTime exists.

3. Starbucks or Dunkin nearly every day

Thanks to my meal plan, I could enjoy an iced latte nearly every day if I wanted to. Now that I'm at home, I never get fancy drinks.

4. Some dining hall foods

Home cooking is definitely better, but I know that I'm going to be craving Panda Express' orange chicken soon enough.

5. Favorite places around campus

Like the top floor of my university library that has an amazing view of campus.

6. Favorite places around my college town

Like the cute coffee shops downtown, since my hometown doesn't have anything like them.

7. My dorm room

It's nice being able to have my own space to hang out in.

8. Being able to walk to everything

Everything I need is only minutes away at school. At home, I have to drive to everything.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

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?

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.
