5 Reasons Why I Miss Being Home

Can We Rewind The Time?

5 Reasons Why I Miss Being Home

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.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
