21 Thoughts You Have When You Come Home From College

In This Article:

Ever since I moved back home, three hours away from the university I have been attending for the past year, I have had a lot of... well, thoughts. It turns out that I have changed quite a bit. Now, this town that I never even thought twice about living in feels kinda weird. It feels like it is missing something, like an Insomnia Cookies storefront or my own personal thermostat that I am free to adjust to ICY COLD without any complaints from my parents.

College life is not the same as home life, and this is what I've been thinking as a result of this drastic difference...

1. Holy CRAP, I missed my dog!

2. Oh, the luxury of having a washer and dryer INSIDE your home.

3. I forgot what actual meals tasted like.

4. Wow, this town is like... really small. 

5. Damn, I need a job.

6. Damn, no will hire me.

7. Oh my god, I am so bored because NO ONE WILL HIRE ME. 

8. I forgot what it feels like to share a wall with my PARENTS. 

9. Why don't residential towns have Insomnia Cookies???

10. I miss college.

11. I do NOT miss the college workload.

12. OH MY GOD WHY WILL NO ONE HIRE ME

13. I wish I still had control of the thermostat.

14. I hate unloading the dishwasher. I miss paper plates 24/7.

15. I miss my college friends. 

16. It is SO GOOD to see my high school buddies though. 

17. Oh, right... everyone I went to high school with lives here too... fantastic. 

18. Woah, I do not miss high school.

19. The Wi-Fi works so much better when THOUSANDS of people aren't also using it.

20. I kinda just wanna sleep all summer... BUT NO.

21. It's good to be back :)

Moral of the story though is: PLEASE HIRE ME.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
