Coming into college, I would have never guessed just how many little things I missed from home. From my missing my brother and sister to just laying in my own bed, you really do realize that the little things are what matter the most. Whether you live 3 hours away or an hour away, everyone will eventually miss home just a little. Here are the top 10 things you miss from home when you are at school!

1. Your own bed.

No matter how hard you try, your school bed will never be as comfortable as your bed at home.

2. Your room.

Similarly to number one, your dorm room is just not as cozy as your bedroom. Also, while I ADORE my roommate to pieces (shoutout to her- love you roomie), there are some moments where I miss having my own room.

3. WiFi

At school, the WiFi is TERRIBLE so it is always nice coming home and not having to wait a million years for a page to load.

4. Free laundry.

Who would have thought that something so small could end up being expensive? Doing laundry at home is always nice since you don't have to worry about how much money you need to wash one load of clothing.

5. Private bathrooms.

Having a communal bathroom just isn't always ideal. At home at least you're sharing a bathroom with one or two people, or if you're lucky, no one.

6. Home-cooked meals.

Because dining hall food gets real old real fast.

7. Your pets.

Who doesn't miss their furry friends when they're at school!

8. Your friends from home.

Your home friends have a special place in your heart as you all watched each other grow into the person you are today.

9. Your siblings.

Whether younger or older, you have a connection with them that can never be beat. When you're at school, there are times where you just miss being around your siblings, making jokes, watching YouTube videos, or singing songs at the top of your lungs.

10. Your mom.

Because your mom is the best person out there.

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

1. "If I'm wearing black tomorrow, it's because I'm mourning my grade."

2. "Do you want to try ordering Chinese takeout to take back to the stacks?"

3. "This final paper has me questioning if this professor just sucks or is Satan himself."

4. "Is that person over there OK? They've been sleeping for a while."

5. "Why are you online shopping?"

"I want to motivate myself to study."

"Since when do you have money to buy something anyway?"

6. "I wonder how much I could make as a stripper."

7. "There are no stress relief dogs, and I feel conned. My stress today is worse than yesterday."

8. "Rate My Professor screwed me over."

9. "I wore these clothes yesterday, and maybe even the day before, but it's fine."

10. "I wonder if I could sneak a beer in here."

11. "I just really want chocolate chip cookies."

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.
