Coming Back To College After Winter Break

Realizing that relaxation is over...

Coming Back To College After Winter Break
Virtual Tour

Well it's official. We have to go to back to school at some point and now it is the time, unfortunately. After being home for a month, I spent time time with my family, working more hours than I did during fall semester and slept a lot more than I usually did. Being home is a blessing and curse. Here is a list of going back to school.

1. You head back to campus realizing how fast break was.

You had time to visit friends, sleep in and Netflix all day. Now you have to go back to school.

2. Then you have to unpack.

I feel like this is the hardest part. You just got back and you want to see everyone but you have to unpack your clothes and things for the new semester.

3. The feeling of waking up early and not sleeping in until noon.

I mean I don't have this problem because I didn't wake up until 10am for fall semester; same with spring semester, I don't have to wake up until 10am again. I am sorry for those of you who have 8am classes. Good luck with that y'all.

4. You get up at the last second and go to class.

I'm thinking about just going in my pj's next semester but I'm probably not...

5. Then on the first day of class, professors are assigning homework already.

Why? I mean why do you want to torture us? It is only the first day back, it is syllabus day. Why are we even assigned something? Please don't let this happen.

6. After a week back, you realized you have to do your own laundry.

I'm sorry mom. I wish you were here and can just do it for me. Help me separate my clothes into whites, color and dark. I guess I have to be an adult and do it myself.

7. After the first night out with your friends, you realized why you missed them.

We still text each other and snapchat each other everyday but it is not the same as being there together. I miss our adventures and going out.

8. Eating at the dining hall and remembering it is gross AF.

Incoming freshman and anyone new: please be aware of Fresh Foods. It is not fresh. Just go to Champ's or JP. Please, I am asking you.

9. Getting to see your friends, roommmate and hallmates after a month.

For me, I don't get to see my roommate because I get a new one. I'm bitter and excited for it. Bitter because I miss my old roommate but excited for my new one!

10. Realizing you missed being busy and having a schedule.

I was home for a month doing nothing but work, sleep and shopped with my mom. I was with my sister most of the time and it was great. But I missed having a schedule and doing things with my friends and having the freedom to do whatever I wanted.

11. Then realizing you have a new schedule and memorizing that.

I have to erase my old schedule and now memorized this new class schedule. I have to find new routes and know when to leave and where I have to go... ugh.

But overall, I am happy to be back on campus to see my friends, new roommate, my big, my sorority sisters, my RA, and just campus itself.

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.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

There have been many lessons learned.

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.
