With the end of the semester quickly approaching, many of us will soon be returning home for winter break.

As glorious as college life can be, it does have its downsides. Here are 7 things that I definitely WON'T miss about college life during winter break.

1. Campus Food

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm sick of eating the same thing everyday for every meal (which is usually pizza, chicken tenders, or a bagel). Food from home just tastes better.

2. Communal Bathrooms (And Shower Shoes)

Having to wear shower shoes because you're sharing a bathroom with 30+ other people you don't know is probably the most annoying thing ever. ESPECIALLY when it's a girls' bathroom and none of them clean any of their hair out of the shower. A month of shower shoe-less showering sounds heavenly.

3. Morning Classes

No more early morning alarms to go to a Gen-Ed you're only taking because you HAVE to - at least for another month.

4. Not Being Able To Go Wherever, Whenever

One of the best luxuries at home is having my car readily available to take me wherever I want to go. Even though college campuses are pretty big, you can still feel trapped.

5. The Uncomfortable Bed

Finally being able to sleep in your own bed (for longer than a weekend) after a long semester of sleeping in an uncomfortable college dorm bed is going to be amazing.

6. Sharing A Room

I love my roommate just as much as the next person does, but it's going to be so nice to have my own room back and to be able to have my own personal space again.

7. Always Having Such A Busy Schedule

As college students, we're supposed to sleep for 8 hours a night, have 8 hours of work a day, and have 8 hours of leisure time, but when does that EVER happen? Balancing your school work, social life, and mental health is not an easy task. A month-long break should be exactly what we all need to regain some of our sanity.

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.
