Home-Cooked Meals:

After a couple months of the same food in the dining hall over and over and over or the endless amounts of ramen and easy mac you make in college, you tend to get sick of it pretty fast. Being home makes us so grateful for our parents cooking as well as actually having a variety of food for once.


Privacy:

It’s always nice to have your own space and own room, where you don’t have to worry about anyone else and can just have some privacy and alone time. This also means getting away from the noise of people walking in the halls during the night or the people above you.


Your own clean shower:

There’s nothing better than going home to your own clean shower where there’s not hair all over and where you don’t have to wear shower shoes.


Reuniting with your Family and Friends:

Catching up with family and friends after being away for a couple months can be one of the best feelings ever. Reuniting with all your best friends is always a lot of fun, especially after being so far away for such a long time.


Your own bed:

Being able to sprawl out on a nice big bed that is incredibly more comfortable than the tiny twin size beds you get at college.


Seeing your pets again:

Being pet-deprived is one of the worst things about college. Going home to see your beloved pet again is a wonderful feeling. There is no better feeling than coming home and seeing that your pets still remember you after being away for so long.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
