<p>I notice that a few people on here are unhappy during this break and just can't wait to be back at school....I thought it would be fun to make a thread where we can quickly list the things we don't like about being home/like about being at college. Maybe after these dis-likable circumstances happen, you just come here and let it out really quickly! ha ha For instance:</p>
<p>-I dislike how I'm not allowed to wash my hair whenever I want, because "that's too late at night, I'm going to bed early." (The bathroom is in my mom's room and I have to clean it afterward) In college I work on my own schedule.</p>
<p>-Chores! Don't get me wrong, I have no problem helping out around the house, I still do all the same chores while away at college (i.e. clean the bathroom, wash and fold clothes, ect...). But in college, I once again, do it on my own terms, usually once a week and it's not an all day process. At home I have fold the clothes and it's like a 3-day project...what the hell? ha ha It's so much better just dealing with my own clothes and not my family's and mine! </p>
<p>-Food, hey I miss some of the food I eat at home, like my yummy sandwiches but I'm also starting to miss the food at my school, I can practically have anything I want and someone will make it for me! haha I'm so excited to order my usual thing when I go back.</p>
<p>-Not being able to exercise...yeah I do my 8 minute stuff on youtube, but I can get more cardio at college and I'm allowed to play DDR in my dorm room without getting in trouble for it!</p>
<p>*Better gym at college (the old home gym just won’t cut it after the ever luxurious college rec center)
*A few college friends I miss, I guess, but not that much considering it’s only been 2 weeks</p>
<p>Errm</p>
<p>Nothing else though, really. I’m quite loving this winter break, actually, and the +s more than make up for the -s.</p>
<p>I miss being able to shower whenever I want, feeling like I am actually welcomed, not having to drive to get everywhere, it not being so effing cold, and having enough food to eat. I missed my family and I am glad I came home, but I would like to go back to eating and not being frozen again.</p>
<p>Frankly I’m loving my break from school. I’m starting at a new place in late January and I’m not totally excited about going back to a dorm. I like having my own space, I like being able to stay up playing my 360 as late as I want (don’t have to worry about a roommate being woken up), I like being able to have my own shower. I like being able to see my girlfriend. I like not having to pay for overpriced food.</p>
<p>I am looking forward to having stuff to do though. I’ve been bored out of my mind when I’m not hanging out with friends. Although if I had a job I’d be occupied and I’d be making money.</p>
<p>It is presently 5 degrees outside. I don’t even know if I’d go to the gym in this weather, much less go for a run outside. XD I would either freeze before I got warmed up or slip and fall to my doom.</p>
<p>There’s absolutely nothing to do back home. I have no form of transportation and even if I did the mall back here is terrible. I don’t really talk too much to my friends back here and there isn’t too much to do with them even if I did.</p>
<p>My family drives me nuts, I have younger siblings (Significantly younger) and they’re a whole set of chores to deal with. I prefer dealing with the lot of them on the phone over in-person.</p>
<p>The inability to eat when I want, my mother is a fine chef but unless I want to prepare a meal at 4am I’m stuck eating a loaf of bread or something. There was a 24/7 diner back at school, the food wasn’t good but you could at least get SOMETHING. Again the lack of transportation exacerbates this problem.</p>
<p>And worst of all, my girlfriend and the majority of my friends are over 2 hours away making visiting them difficult at best :(</p>
being able to walk everywhere or take the subway. here in suburbs I don’t have a car and it’s like 18 degrees outside and snowing, so walking isn’t fun
seeing my boyfriend everyday (he lives in north carolina)
having friends constantly around…my best friend from hs moved away, another 2 close friends are on vacation, several have gone back to college…
the variety of food and entertainment nyc has to offer that my hometown doesn’t
my job, a little bit.
not having to deal with my annoying aunt who moved down the street a couple months ago and is obnoxious</p>
<p>what I like about being home:
mom’s homecooked meals
have my own room again
seeing my old friends
catching up with my older brother
not having to study/do hw
getting to read all the books I’ve wanted to read for a while but am to busy to read in college
I started watching this show called “the office” and it’s so funny…thank god for hulu</p>
I hate the house, it’s so tiny and small and crammed and I honestly prefer my dorm room lol. And I can do whatever I want there, I mean I can bang music and keep my lights on forever, over here I have to *<strong><em>ing turn off the lights everytime I get in a different room because my dad’s psycho about ‘‘wasting extra money’’… stupid idiot dad
my dad… he has no passion, no drive, no ambition, he thinks college is a huge waste of money for me and he keeps bringing up pointless arguments with me and my mom. And he won’t spend a cent on me in this country. And he’s slow and depressing.
the weather, it’s ice cold, I want florida weather back lol
the shops, clothes are more expensive here
the country, I wanna go back to america!!!
the people, there were only a few people in hs i connected with and a lot of them I’m not even seeing that much over here, I wanna go back to college and c my bois, and ladies lol
oh yeah, did i mention I can’t get laid because my room is right next to my parents so if I wanna get laid I need to like get a hotel for one night which be so weird… I might do that if this date with one of the girls i hooked up with wants to do it this week though hahaha
my diet and exercise routine has gone to *</em></strong>… I sleep at the most random times, I exercise like twice a week tops (normally everyday) and eat healthy food generally but I have no idea of how much I’m consuming and crap.
chores… lemme do them on my own time mom!!
having my parents ask me about literally everything… none of your friggen business!
yeah I’m definitely getting a furnished appartment during summer break or sth.</p>
<p>I miss college because
I am on a good routine
I have made a lot of friends and continue to do so daily
<p>Yes I agree with needing to be on some sort of routine, I’m so tired of waking up at 2:30 in the afternoon, although i guess I should enjoy it now because soon we’ll be in the “real world” ha ha</p>
