Between August and November, you are away at school either in a dorm, house, or apartment. You try so hard to make it feel like home, but in the end, it will never live up to your room at home. Here are 7 things every college student misses while being away from home.

1. Your bed.

Nothing beats your bed at home. There are no words to describe the comfort you feel stretched out in your queen sized bed under the covers in your perfectly air-conditioned room surrounded by your favorite stuffed animals.

2. Home Cooked Meals.

Nothing beats a homemade meal from your mom or a perfectly grilled burger by your dad. Dining hall food just doesn't compare and even when you try and cook, the food never tastes the same.

3. Your friends.

Sure you might have your friends and even best friends at school, but nothing compares to the friendships that have survived since elementary school.

4. Having more than $5 in your wallet at one time.

Isn't it nice when you don't have to pay for your own groceries or your parents offer to take you out to dinner? It's nice to not have to order off the kid's menu every once in a while.

5. Your pet.

The best feeling is opening the door to your house and seeing your favorite animal staring up at you. Nothing beats cuddling up in bed or on the couch with your best friend.

6. Not having to pay for laundry.

It's nice to not have to pay $1.50 per a load of laundry, but it's even better when your parents offer to do your laundry for you.

7. Walking around town.

Nothing is more comforting than being able to walk around the place you call home. You know the ins and outs and all of the shortcuts to get from place to place. The feeling of being home is beyond comforting.
