Being away for school is one of the greatest experiences in the world. You get to meet people who are just like you, but all from many different places. Best of all, you get to experience life without your parents down your back. As great as being away for school is, you will always find yourself missing home even just a little bit.
1. Your Family
While your family can sometimes drive you up the wall there is also nothing quite as great as them. They are the people who love and support you endlessly and will always be on your side even if you are wrong. Nothing will ever beat your mother’s loving touch or your father’s terribly corny joke.
2. Your Pet
You can always talk to the people you miss from home, but talking to you pet just is not the same. Nothing will ever compare to the first time you are reunited with your pet-- endless snuggles and love.
3. Your Friends
The squad, gang, clique, whatever you want to call them; no one will compare to them. You guys have years of friendship under your belt with endless memories that will last a lifetime. Coming back together for the first time consists of staying up for hours catching up on life; what has happened and what is yet to come. Most likely the countdown to see them again begins before you even leave them.
4. Your Bed
You can try to make your bed at school as comfy as possible, but nothing will ever beat your bed at home. The smell, feel, warmth, space, and coziness will never be matched quite as well as your bedroom at home.
5. Your Hometown
Everyone has those few places in their hometown that will never match up to any place while you are at college. Whether it is big places like the greatest place to get a hamburger or sentimental places like where you first learned how to ride your bike, no place ever can compare. In your eyes, nothing can ever compare to the greatness your town has achieved.
At the end of the day, home is just always on your mind and it is your favorite place to be.
