Even though we love college and are dreading having to leave our practically second home, we can’t help but think of all the things that we are somewhat excited to leave behind.
1. The dreaded all nighters
Those long nights spent in your room until 4 a.m. trying to finish that paper that’s due for your 8 a.m. class or studying all night will soon be over and they will not be missed!
2. Being broke 99.9 percent of the time
The days will soon be over when you need to beg your parents for money almost every weekend, along with deciding whether you should eat or save the money for your night out.
3. Microwavable meals and cafeteria food all day, every day
As you enter freshman year, you think unlimited cafeteria food is an amazing thing but you quickly realize how sick of it you get and how unappealing it gets, and fast. After college, you can go back to eating at home and not questioning what kind of meat the school is serving.
4. Bedrooms that are meant for one person, but hold three
Having a roommate or roommates can be fun for the first semester, but after a couple months of being woken up by somebody drunkenly stumbling in, it gets a little hard to not be excited to move home after graduation to your own bedroom.
5. Not being near your pet all the time
People may or may not appreciate the long distance relationship between your cat, dog or even goldfish. Coming home from college and getting to annoy your pet all the time in an attempt to make them love you is exactly what you missed about being away from them.
6. Seeing people you know absolutely everywhere
The thrill of seeing people you know on campus with every step you take quickly wears off after the first semester or two.
7. Cheap alcohol
Ok, so cheap alcohol may not go totally away after college but we like to think that after graduating college we upgrade at least one shelf higher in the liquor store.
8. Nobody really considering you as a true adult
It goes without saying that when you’re a college student, people really don’t think of you as a person of the real world quite yet. However, all that will hopefully change when you’re out of the college scene and have a real-person job.
