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

In This Article:

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.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
