8 Questions You Ask Yourself When You Come Home From College

Coming home from college for break is bittersweet. You are nervous but yet, you are so happy and content with it. You have so many thoughts about what you’re going to do and what you need to do. Here are wight things you probably think to yourself during that time at home.

1. Did Mom make dinner?

There isn't anything better than coming home to food on the stove that your Momma made. You have been living off the cafe and ramen for the past two weeks because you used all your money on your school card.

2. Where’s my fur baby?

You walk in the door and the first thing you see is your favorite fur baby. All you want to do is lay and cuddle. You've been living off everyone else's fur babies that are on campus or at your local pet store.

3. Where’s my best friend?

You have left your best friend for four months at least, and you're completely lost. You expect them to be at your house right when you get there. They most likely are, but if they aren't, they will be in the next hour or so. Missing your best friend is just as bad as missing your family.

4. How did I ever get by with a twin size bed?

Your twin bed is getting pretty old by this point. It's nice to lay in your own bed and sprawl out. It still has conforms to your body like it always has, unlike your school bed. You also don't have to climb up or down stairs to get to your bed.

5. What place should we eat at first?

You now have gone four months living off Cookout when you went out to eat because you were broke. Now you can go anywhere you want because your parents are paying. Those favorite restaurants you crave are finally now within driving distance. You don't even know what to do with yourself and all the good food you're about to eat.

6. What's my roomie up to?

You've eaten almost every meal with this person. You have spent late nights complaining about going to class the next day. You've shared a bathroom and learned the select times to take showers and now you have your shower all to yourself.

7. Should I take on more hours at work?

I am a broke college student and I need some hours. I can't get a job at school because I have too much going on so this at home job is my only hope to make some money. I need the money to pay for good food instead of Cookout all the time. But who am I kidding, it will probably still go to Cookout.

8. Do I need to bring these clothes back?

Living off of sweats and tshirts makes you think that you may need to bring back some normal clothes back to school. But then you get to thinking, Am I actually going to wear them? Probably not. Even though I have so many cute clothes and I wish I could wear them but that’s a lot of work to put into an outfit. My sweats are cute, right?

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.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
