Going home for the first time is always a bittersweet thing. Why would I want to leave UNH? But then again why wouldn’t I want to go home? I have to say it was a little weird being back in CT and not in NH. Here were the pros and cons of going home for the first time last week…..

Pros:

  • Seeing family

  • Seeing hometown besties

  • A nice home cooked meal

  • Sleeping in your own room 

  • Driving around town

  • Hometown coffee shops

  • Doing your laundry without having to pay for it

  • Everyone is really excited to see you

Cons:

  • Missing college besties

  • Sleeping schedule was so out of whack

  • Did the same thing everyday (Idk about anyone else but there’s nothing really to do in my town)

  • Your friends aren’t right down the hall

  • Sometimes you have TOO much free time

  • And finally I personally ended up eating too much McDonalds because that’s where my friends want to go at night

 

As much as I love being back at UNH I know there was a part of me that missed home. But I also feel like UNH is my home away from home.
