7 Reasons You Can’t Wait To Get Back To College

Written By: Erin McMahon

As we approach the seventh week of summer vacation, however, we are already counting down the days until we’re back on campus. Here’s why:

7. No one cares how your room looks at college.

In your dorm room, your clothes pile up on the floor, there are at least five expired yogurt containers in the fridge, and a layer of dust covers every single surface. However, we’re too busy to care. At home, someone is always monitoring the cleanliness of our room. “ERIN, PUT YOUR CLOTHES AWAY. YOUR DESK HAS MAKEUP ALL OVER IT. HOW HAVE YOU STILL NOT UNPACKED FROM LAST SEMESTER?” I’ve been hearing phrases like this for the past seven weeks. I’m fine with my messy room, thank you very much.

6. You’re sick of having to prepare your own meals.

Gone are the days when a dining hall was only a short walk away, with freshly grilled burgers, cut vegetables for salad making, and an assortment of ice cream flavors with the best toppings. Now, when we want to eat, we have to go to the fridge, cut and clean the vegetables ourselves, grill the burger, and even milk the cow to make theice cream. (Okay, that was a little extreme, but preparing food is hard work!) While dining hall food is nowhere near five-star dining, it beats all the effort that goes into a subpar meal. That’s why we’ve been eating so much cereal this summer.

5. You probably still have a curfew.

At least in my house, my parents have still set a curfew for me. They say it’s because my dog wakes up the entire house when I come home, but deep down I know it’s because they’re always concerned with where I am and my safety, as any good parent is. I tried to pull the card where I groaned about being an adult and living on my own now. (Hint: if you’re thinking of doing this, just save yourself some trouble and DON’T.)next red button
