As college students we love the freedom of being away from home. Our parents aren't here to tell us what we can and can't do; they can't stop us from going out late and they can't keep us from staying up all night for no reason. But at the same time, we kind of miss being restricted from doing things. Maybe that's why do whatever we want when we're at college, because we know we can get away with it while we're away.
Although college is a great place, and we are trying our best to have the best times of our lives before we have to head out into "the real world," we all truly miss things about home. We try not to admit it, though, to our parents because then they will be sad because they miss us dearly and we do not want to make our parents sad.
1. Two-ply toilet paper
We pay so much for housing, why can't our schools give us two-ply?
2. Toilets that aren't automatic
Every time you use the bathroom at school the toilet flushes at least twice if not more, which is seriously annoying.
3. Showering barefoot
It's the best feeling in the world to take a shower without shower shoes on. Even if you're only home for a day, you always take a shower because wearing nothing on your feet in the shower is awesome.
4. Home-cooked meals
Nothing can compare to your parents cooking.
5. Relaxation
When you're home, you don't have to worry about school, and that's even better than not having to wear shower shoes.
6. Sleep
You can sleep in as late you want, and you don't have to worry about sleeping through a class. Although your parents would rather you get up at a reasonable time so they can spend time with you while you're home.
7. Driving
Unless you're one of those lucky ones that have a car a campus, being home means you get to drive yourself again. You're always amazed that you can still drive well even if it's been two months or more since the last time you drove.
8. Friends
Yes, you have the friends you made at college there, but when you go home you get to see all the friends you left behind, and that's the best thing in the world. Although you may get emotional when you have to leave for school again because it'll be awhile until you see your friends from home again.
