Winter Break

<p>It seems like so many people are ready to get back to school. What does it say if you're having so much fun being back at home that you have no desire to go back? Don't get me wrong, I like my college, but I'm not in love with it and the thought of transfering out west has crossed my mind several times. Is this normal, the not wanting to go back?</p>

<p>yeah, I think both responses are perfectly normal, although the fact that you're thinking of transferring out west is interesting...you say you're enjoying your school, though? why the interest in transferring?</p>

<p>I definitely don't want to go back.</p>

<p>can't wait to get back and have everything back to "normal"</p>

<p>I'm just ready to go back so I'll actually have something to DO instead of sit around my apartment on my ass all the time. Especially since it's been raining so much in the past few days, it sucks to even go outside. I went to my grandmother's house for Christmas but it's even more boring there (no cell service or internet) so I came back the 26th.</p>

<p>All I do is watch movies and post on forums during the day... stay up late and wake up late. Yeah, I'm ready to go back, too. I'm usually ready to go back after about 10 days off, and it's been just over that. But I'm going on a snowboarding trip soon, which I'm looking forward to.</p>

<p>OP, I'm sure that's normal. Especially if you're doing fun things, and not bored out of your mind like me and many others.</p>

<p>I just love the break from school, but I'm ready to go back--I guess you could say that I'm a huge nerd.</p>

<p>What do I love about home? Free food, my drumkit and access to powertools :) </p>

<p>What do I love about college? I can be up whenever I want, and other people will be up too, it's not "dead" at 3am. And there's this one really cute girl I rather miss... ;) </p>

<p>I'm anxious to get back, I suppose. It helps that I've been working over the break (save up during breaks, so I can focus on school and not work during school year) and I hate working...atleast at my present job, it's not the best :)</p>

<p>I want to go back NOW. College is AWESOME</p>

<p>I am kinda ready to go back to school. I've enjoyed my break and all, but I guess I just love being in the dorms. But I'm not looking forward to doing homework =(.</p>

<p>sure college is great...but home is where i get the yummy food, can wake up at anytime i want, and cleanliness.
Why do you guys sit at home all day during break? What about hanging out with friends? You can go out with your friends every day during break without having to worry about studying/ doing hwk. So i don't understand what so many of you miss about school.</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>I keep my dorm rather clean...</p>

<p>As for hanging out with friends, at college, my friends are 10 minutes away if I walk, 2 if I drive. At home, my friends are 20 minutes plus away by car, and have vastly different schedules, and we can't hook up randomly at 2am at the cafeteria... I don' tmind the not studying or homework, but I'm working a decent amount over the break, so I actually have less free time during break than I do during the school year...</p>

<p>Lol, most of my friends from high school are married and/or pregnant, I can't exactly just go hang out with them. The ones that aren't, they live in the same town as my college now (my high school's about 35 minutes away from here) so I just stay here. Plus, my mom moved back in with my grandmother who lives 25 minutes from the town my HS is in (and about an hour from my college), and there's no cell phone service or internet there, and the nearest ANYTHING (even Wal-mart) is like 12 miles away. I was there for part of Christmas eve, Christmas and part of the day after Christmas and I was ready to go back to civilization by then. My best friend from HS lives about two blocks away from my apartment at college, so it works out fine. She just works alot and most of my friends from school are at home until the 2nd or 3rd, so I have been a little bored. It hasn't been TOO bad, as one of my friends who left to go to grad school elsewhere is back in town for break (her parents live here) so it's nice to see her.</p>

<p>i dread going back to classes next week</p>

<p>Lucky college students! Us high schoolers have to go back tomm. I can't wait till I am in your place.</p>

<p>i dont wanna go back to school...this sucks....</p>

<p>i don't want to go back. but i don't want to be stuck at home forever because it gets boring fast. i feel like i would prefer to be with my high school friends than my college friends, but i haven't seen the former in so long that it feels weird being around them, like they're not my "real" friends anymore. but thinking about going back and stressing out over classes and my future and meeting people isn't very pleasant. so for me i guess life is a two way hell.</p>

<p>I wanna go back to campus so bad. I feel like I am just wasting 3 weeks of my life being at home. yarrrr.</p>

<p>um....i'm stuck in the blackhole of studying MCAT...just started lol but i'm taking it in 4 months? So yeah, if i don't need to go back that'd be great</p>

<p>I can't wait until the 17th when I finally get to go back to college. My mom hit something and my sister hit 13, so they're both having, um, issues and I can't stand it. And the subsequent arguing, fighting, bickering, and what not about the most inane asinine little things. They've both gotten more uptight when I was gone. They both need to lighten up a little and take things in stride. And then there's me, the officious bystander, who inevitably gets dragged into it because I'm here. 2600 miles away in college I can live away from all the bickering, arguing, fighting and yelling and live in peace and generally mind my own business. And I get to sleep when I want, I get to eat when I want, I get to do homework when I want, and other than my classes and extracurriculars, I don't have to mind anyone's business, and best of all I can get fricking fresh, piping hot cookies and ice-cold milk at 2 in the morning.</p>

<p>And then there's the fact that on multiple occasions, I've walked outside my house and about halfway down the block, metrocard out, only to realize that northern California doesn't have subways. And when I go shopping, I have to actually find parking instead of just like walking into the store. Not to mention I can lust after Harvard Law in private instead of someone being in my face all the time. Or my mom trying to convince me (indirectly) to switch to a different major. And I can lead a pretty private life, I don't know, PRIVATELY. Funny how I get more privacy with a roommate in a college dorm than I get at home with my own room.</p>
