We never think leaving that small room will be hard.

What You'll Miss About Your Dorm Room This Summer
Michelle Hamilton

When you move into your dorm room, you're excited and happy to either be back with your friends or start a new journey freshman year. Throughout the year, we meet new people, do new things and usually end up hating the little jail cell you're stuck in. This only gets worse as the year goes on. By the time spring break comes around, being anywhere but that tiny little room seems ideal.

Although the room is tiny, dusty and restricting, you will usually find yourself becoming a little sad about leaving it at the end of the year. You're clearly not going to miss the dust or the room itself, but more of what comes with the room.

Your best friends are right down the hall.

Let's face it—you're never actually alone or bored in college, theres always someone there to watch Netflix with or do crazy things with at 2 a.m. Now that you're moving out, you realize how bored you're going to be without your friends

You have a lot more freedom.

No one is asking you where you're going, who with, how long or anything else like that. You have the freedom to do your own thing without someone knowing your every move. Although you didn't miss parents nagging you, you really did miss them a lot.

You won't have endless food and snacks that feel free.

One of the best parts of college is that your student ID gets you all types of food and it feels like its free, even though it's definitely not. This makes buying a $5 drink at Starbucks a lot easier, because it doesn't feel like you're even spending money.

You always have something to do.

Whether it's studying or a party, college definitely doesn't give you time to be bored. This feels like a burden when it's schoolwork, but once you move out for the summer, you don't know what to do with all of your spare time.

We all get a little sad when leaving that dorm room behind, due to the memories we made throughout the year and the fact that moving our of the dorm means leaving the college for three whole months. Don't worry though, Fall semester is going to come quicker than you think, and soon you'll be wishing it was summer again!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
