You know, there are some things that I really miss from home. I know that you guys are thinking of the typical, "I miss my mom," or "I miss my dog." Don't get me wrong, I miss them all terribly. My parents are the light of my life, and my dogs are my entire world. However, there are some other things that I really miss and I didn't think I would.

1. I miss my bathtub.

I can't even tell you the last time I bought a bath bomb because I don't get to sit down and relax with one here. I would love to be at home right now with some candles around my bath, a good book or some music, and hot water. I could simmer in there for hours, until the skin on my hands is all wrinkly.

2. I miss my mattress.

Okay, so I kind of expected this one. I thought I was going to miss my bed, but when I got home for break, my family bought me a new mattress. Let me tell you, that thing is like sleeping on a cloud! Sometimes when I close my eyes at night, I pretend I am at home and sleeping in my own bed; I can almost imagine my room, but it's nothing like the real thing.

3. I miss my piano.

There isn't anywhere I can go on campus where I can sit at a piano and write about my stresses, and that is very depressing to me. At home, I sit down and write about anything at the piano. The piano was where I could let loose and be free, and there is nothing that could ever comfort me more than those black and white keys.

4. I miss my mom's cooking.

My mom makes the best dinners. She can make the best red meat sauce you would ever taste. I know I am in the middle of Providence and there is italian food everywhere, but none of it is anywhere near as good as my mom's food.

5. I miss my kitchen.

I really took my kitchen for granted when I was at home. In the mornings, I would make omelettes, and here I can't do that. Lucky for me, my dorm comes with a bathroom, but it doesn't have a kitchen. I wish I could cook some of my dinners (especially on snow days). I ate so much better when I could cook for myself, and honestly, I can't wait for summer solely for that aspect.

What do you miss?
