Going home means….seeing my friends after eleven months of missing each other and feeling a bit anxious on the flight. But, ultimately, going home means…
-
Knowing every street name
-
Visiting elementary, middle, and high school teachers
-
Strolling around parks that hold so many memories
-
Biking on streets that are not Route 9 or 116
-
Getting a break from Val
I don’t usually have many complaints about dining hall food, but if you all knew how amazing my mom is at cooking, you would miss it a lot.
6. Cooking with family and friends
The ingredients to fun cooking are great kitchen space, great company, great music, and no recipe.
7. Sleepovers/movie night
There is just so much to catch up on, daylight’s worth of time enough time, so we’ll carry conversations throughout the night. Gotta get the most out of an annual visit home.
8. Doing the touristy things I never did but was expected out of me
9. Reuniting with good weather
10. Not having to share bathrooms with too many people
I mean I adore my floormates and all, but you know…
11. Not having to wear shower shoes
12. Remembering the familiar and distinctive smell of home
13. Walking my friends’ dogs <3
14. Studying for midterms following break
Just why.
15. Still unable to leave the troubles of homework
I’m always trying to get ahead, but I can barely make it through
I know that Thanksgiving break will pass by way too quickly, but I’ll try to enjoy it as much as I can.
