Don't get me wrong, I love to travel and see new places, but there's something about being home that puts me at ease. Growing up, I was constantly out with friends and on the go. It wasn't until my first semester of college when I went 17 hours away, that I realized how much I actually like being home.

1. Annoyance

It isn't the fact that I'm annoyed to be home, but it's the fact that I'm annoyed that I LIKE being home so much. I wish I could venture out and go far away for a semester without feeling like I'll miss home. It was difficult to be far away from home for my first semester, so I know it would be tough for me to be in a different country for a whole semester. Eventually I'll build up the courage to try it out, but I know it won't be easy for me.

2. Jealousy

I'm so jealous of people that can go far away from home and actually enjoy themselves instead of being homesick 90% of the time. Even though I'm only 2 1/2 hours away from home, I still get homesick sometimes, and it's not even that far away. The people that can go away for months at a time without being terribly homesick are a special breed of people that I envy.

3. Broke

With my older sister being a senior in college, and my younger sister being a senior in high school, I've gone home quite a bit this semester to see some of their last games. This of course makes it so I can't work that weekend. I also spend a majority of my money on gas. Although, it is worth it considering my parents spoil me to an extreme while I'm home, (thanks Mom and Dad).

4. FOMO

"Fear of Missing Out" is something I suffer from, especially while I'm watching all my friends snapchat stories. I feel so lame sitting at home with my family while my friends are all out having fun.

5. Thankful

As difficult as it can be to be a home body, I am so thankful that I have a home and family that makes me want to go home as much as I do. Having family dinners and watching movies around the fire are two things that I wouldn't trade for the world.
