1. Late night Cookout runs
Whether it be after the late night study sessions in the library or nights you cannot sleep Cookout is always there. Perfect for the broke college student with their cheaply priced meals. This is the biggest school year tradition I will miss with my friends for my first summer back home.
2. My friends
Living right next door to your best friends is your childhood dream come true. You never have to get in the car and go pick them up simply just knock on their door and boom they are there. All the family dinners, mall trips to find that perfect outfit, and so much more they have been here for it all.
3. The gym

The gym is state of the art at most colleges, open for 24 hours, and you can always find something to keep you busy there. Midnight workouts, quick after class runs, or nightly Zumba classes will be missed. You will never get bored I promise you that.
4. Clubs and hobbies
Weekly activities help keep this college kid from going insane. My clubs are one of the few things besides class that give a college kid structure and keeps them busy form those after class naps. I will miss. my little club families but just wait til next year!
5. Last minute plans
One of the best things about college is the freedom you receive and with that comes a bunch of free time. You get to choose just how you spend it and what better than last minute plans. When it comes to my friend group we are the worst at this, waiting til the very last minute to plan something forgetting so bored we finally make plans. However, some of these plans have been the best parts of college and have even lead to my other favorite activity: Cookout runs.
Freshman year will always hold a close place to my heart and all the memories I have made I will cherish. Year two, you better be just as good to me as this one was. Here's to three more years!
