Family is so important, and there's nothing that could make you so nostalgic than realizing that graduation is upon you and you actually wish that you could rewind time. So here are 5 things I miss about being at home with my family.
1. Family Time
I remember when we used to all lay in the bed and watch movies, or sitting on the couch watching whatever TV we were into that season. Dinner may have not been eaten at the table but there was always a common place in the house we gathered to eat and hangout. Family time was so important to us, and it may have been something that I did not appreciate like I should have until I left home.
2. Bad Days
When having a bad day all I wish I could do is climb into the bed with my mom and talk about my issues. This is something I miss because having a bad day is not something I like to have. The comfort found in being up under my mother is something I may never be able to find with anyone else.
3. Night Laughter
Have you ever stayed up all night having a full blown conversation with your sibling until the sun comes up? I miss doing this so much. Some days we would go the entire night making fun of someone or just talking about school and what we didn't like. We don't get to do this as often because I am in one city and she is in a different one, so I miss being able to stay up all night with my little sister being loud and sleep deprived.
4. No Struggle
Being at home meant no bills, and not trying to figure out how I was going to eat because my mom took care of that. I miss being home for those reasons. It is so stressful trying to figure out what's in the kitchen only to realize that there is nothing. Or trying to figure out what you could pay on a bill instead of paying the entire thing, just so you will have money to get back and forth to work. None of this was a problem at home.
5. Sleep
When home I could sleep for however long I wanted with no issues of people making so much noise, or being awakened to someone asking a question you don't have the answer to. Being in college there is rarely any sleep because of the course loads. I miss not having to wake up in the middle of the night only to discover that I missed an assignment.
