3 Things Mobilians Miss When They Leave for College

As a senior in high school, many people are so ready to leave Mobile when they go to college. But once they do, coming home means being reunited with the city you didn't know you really loved. Getting to eat at the many amazing local restaurants, spend a day on the bay, or celebrate Mardi Gras really makes coming home so much better. Sometimes you just gotta get back to the 251.

1. Foosackly's

The perfect, crispy chicken fingers accompanied by warm, crunchy french fries, a little cup of Foo sauce, and buttery Texas toast. Any Mobile native craves this mouth-watering meal when they leave for college. Luckily, there is a Foosackly's on my way home from school, so that is usually my first stop! Petition to bring Foo to Auburn, anyone??

2. Carpe Diem

Whether it's to meet up with some high school friends or to work on a last minute essay before heading back to school, Carpe is the perfect Mobile coffee shop. The homey feel and smell of delicious coffee make the taste of a blueberry muffin and Alpine Mocha, and the company even better.

3. Being SO close to the beach.

Because Mobile really only has two seasons (Summer and football), visiting the Bay is perfect year round. Being able to drive 20-45 min to spend all day at the beach is seriously a luxury that all college students miss. But it's the perfect place for weekend trip with all of your friends!

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
