For one, you get to buy new stuff. Granted, some of it is not that exciting, like a shower caddy or a desk fan. But on the other hand, there is whole new area for you to design and no parents around to keep you from designing it the way you want. You can buy all sorts of tacky and semi-pointless things to decorate your dorm room. Lava lamps, movie posters, flags, streamers, Christmas lights. Now, that is fun!

It is also an opportunity to hit your parents up for some new gadgets, like an iPhone or a new laptop. If you haven’t already, try to convince your parents that you a need a new digital camera, so that you can keep them up to date with your college life. Tell them all about how you will send photos of your dorm room, roommates and the campus. Leave out the part about how you will take pictures of yourself in an inappropriate Halloween costume, which will inevitably end up on Facebook with potentially embarrassing results.

Another thing to get pumped for is your newfound food freedom. Never before or again will you see people eat with such a lack of conscience. After a steady diet of cafeteria food, mainly consisting of chicken something served with frozen something else, you will start to crave real food, but it is nowhere to be found. Bring on the junk food. With no parental guidance, you will find that leftover pizza can be breakfast , lunch or dinner. Usually all three. Eventually, you will start to want something fresh and homemade. That’s what Thanksgiving break is for.

Hopefully, that is enough to get you excited about heading back to school. Remember, you have a fresh slate, so get out there and start kicking some butt . . . academically speaking.
