The Love Hate Relationship I Have With College

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UAB chapter.

It is the worst of times, it is the best of times. College definitely has its ups and downs and has caused me to develop a love hate relationship with it.

Love: Longer Breaks

Week long thanksgiving breaks, 4-month summers, AND month-long Christmas breaks? Sign me up!

Hate: Campus Dining

After two years of eating the same options over and over again, campus food gets pretty boring and unappetizing.

Love: Friends

Friends make everything better… especially when you’ve found your people.

Hate: Being away from family

Getting homesick is the worst.

Love: Independence

But, on the bright side you finally have some independence and aren’t constantly watched by your parents!

Hate: Residence Halls

Having to pack up and move at the end of the year just to move right back in a few months later is pretty annoying.

Love: Memories

The memories you make here are some that will last a lifetime.

Hate: The end of semester cram

My current situation, finding the motivation to study for finals after giving it your all this semester is THE STRUGGLE!!!

All in all, college is a pretty awesome place when you learn to balance it all. Good luck on your finals!
