To The College Student Whose Home Is Their Safe Haven

To The College Student Whose Home Is Their Safe Haven
Taylor Anne Pace

When you go home, it doesn't always automatically mean that you are home sick. Going home could be a safe haven for some college kids. For example, when I go home, I feel as though I am disconnected from my school life, and that to me can be very relaxing.

Going home can relieve stress from you, it can put life into a different perspective with getting out of your daily routine for a few days and it can even make you happier. Straying from your daily routine every so often is normal, healthy even! It is good to get out of your comfort zone and to relax.

Straying from your daily routine of college classes, work, stress, anger, etc. actually means that you don't need to think about all of those things for more than just a few minutes, maybe even hours! It gives you that sense of freedom that you do not get while you are just laying around on a Saturday away at school.

Being able to have the ability to remove yourself from the college atmosphere for more than a day is something to be thankful for. You get to see some family that you haven't seen in weeks, maybe even months. You get to see some friends that you haven't seen. You get to see pets if you have any and we all know that if you do have pets (especially dogs) that you are mostly more excited to see them than your actual family. Actually I'm just kidding (sorry to my family who is reading this), but in reality, you get to see so many people who you have missed and you get to do so many things.

A lot can happen in a an hour, or even in a day, can you imagine a weekend back at home, relaxing?

I recommend going home for just a weekend if you have had multiple stressful weeks and just can't put up with your friends or school anymore. Even if you don't like going home that often, just do it so you can get some peace and quiet honestly. You will mostlikly get a home cooked meal and let's be honest, who doesn't like home cooked meals?

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.
