5 Reasons I Love Coming Home From College

Whether it's because you're sick of the dumb drama or physically can't do another paper, there's comes a point in the semester when you really just can't wait to be home. Ya know, college ain't all that it's cracked up to be. It might be fun to be able to do whatever you want, but when you have four papers to do and two tests to study for all in the same week, home seems so much sweeter.

1. Family

I always had a good relationship with my mom and dad before I went to school, but I felt like as soon as I got to college I became so much closer to them. Sometimes you have to miss someone to appreciate them more, and I've learned to say thank you times a million. Going out on the weekends is a blast, but happiness to me is laying in bed with my mom in our pajamas, eating a pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream and watching a sappy, romantic movie.

2. Home Friends

There's a big difference between home friends and school friends. Since you don't get to see your home friends around campus, seeing them during your limited breaks makes your time with them much more special. Plus there's nothing better than going to your local bagel shop and obsessing over how much you missed this porkroll egg and cheese sandwich. Let the catching up begin!

3. Food

There is nothing better than a home cooked meal, especially when my mom is the cook. I've consumed more bowls of cereal in my one and a half years at school then I have in my whole nineteen years of life. My stomach is never dissatisfied when I'm home.

4. Bed

If I could marry my bed at home, I would. I just want a nice big bed I can sprawl out in, instead of the toothpick I lay on at school. I feel like every night I lay down in it, it gets smaller.

5. Freedom

If I'm coming home, I'm leaving all of my responsibilities behind. It's time to relax, and not worry about the pile of school work I have to do and just watch TV for the first time in months. Thank you home for making me stress free!

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
