Coming back home from months away at college is always a strange adjustment. You're used to the freedom and not having to really ask for permission to do things but once you come home, you have to remember to ask if you can do certain things. While it's nice to see your family, you still feel a little bit weird, especially after your freshman year. Both you and your parents don't really know how to act. These are some thoughts that I've had while I've been home and I'm sure most people relate to.
1. Wow my own bed!
2. Yes, actual food…thank God for home cooked food
3. I can’t wait until my friends get home from school
4. Ooh! I’m going to finally go to the mall
5. Wait, I can’t use the car?
6. Ok…so I’ll just watch the rest of my Netflix series
7. *8 hours later* Alrighty, time to look for a new series
8. Maybe I should actually unpack
9. Nah it's fine, I'll have to pack everything back up again soon
10. Ugh I didn't miss chores
11. Finally, I get the car!
12. Crap, I’m broke
13. Maybe I can find cheap fun things to do?
14. Why are all of my friends still taking finals
15. WHY AM I SO BORED
16. There’s nothing to do
17. Maybe I’ll apply for a job
18. They’re not hiring?!
19. They aren’t either??
20. Where am I supposed to work?
21. I NEED MONEY
22. Finally!! One of my friends is home
23. Oh she has to spend time with her family first
24. I’ll just take the day to chill then…like I’ve been doing for the past week
25. Why hasn’t Frank Ocean actually released his album
26. Who is Becky with the good hair?
27. Will they make a Black Widow movie?
28. Why is my room such a mess
29. Where is the food? Where are the snacks that I like?!
30. I actually kind of miss school
31. I wonder how my friends are doing?
32. Oddly enough I miss walking up Stamp Hill...I need to exercise
33. I can’t wait until August
34. Oh wait…I hate school work
35. I have so many conflicting emotions
36. What if there was college but minus the work but with a degree?
37. I would pay to go there
38. Shoot, I forgot to take the stuff out of the freezer like my mom said
39. She’s going to be home any second
40. Ugh I really can’t wait to go back to school
41. I’ll miss my family though
42. But really…counting down the days until August
So there you have it! The main thoughts that i have been flowing through my mind the past few days. I'm so happy to be with my family but I do miss college, especially my friends and the convenience of having a gym a few minutes away. Soon it will be August and I'm willing to bet that I'll be dreading the idea of going back to school. For now, I'm going to enjoy the time with my family and friends and try to make the most out of the summer.
