12 Stages Of Coming Home For Summer

After a hard nine months of school work, late nights, studying, dining hall food, dorm showers and crazy late night adventures, the school year is finally over, and we're finally home. But it doesn't mean that coming home is a walk in the park. Our sleep schedule's are out of whack, we're used to leaving our clothes all over the floor and not having anyone yell at us for it, not having curfew or anyone to answer to. But coming home also means we get to spend time with our high school friends, roam around all the old places we used to spend all of our time at, spend time with our family, and do all the sleeping, resting and Netflix watching that we want. So, here are the 12 stages of coming home for the summer from school.

1. I can't wait to be home with shoe-less showers, no homework and all day to watch Netflix without headphones -- because no roommate.


2. My first meal in too long that isn't dining hall food? This is amazing.


3. Wow, first Monday in too long that I don't have to set an alarm to get up for my 8:30 a.m.

4. Look at all of this homework I don't have, studying I don't have to do, and tests I don't have to take.

5. And all of this free time? This is amazing.

6. Wait, but what else can I do besides watch Netflix and sleep all day?

7. Oh, so I just have to sit here on Friday nights?

8. "Room -- oh, wait there isn't someone 10 feet from me anymore."

9. Oh, eating Insomnia cookies at 2 a.m. isn't allowed at home. That's OK, I guess.



10. High school friends are great, but what happened to all my college friends?

11. Alright, seriously, what else can I do at home? College, I miss you.

12. How many days till I can go back?

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
