9 Steps To Coming Home For The Weekend
David McBee

If you live close enough to your campus, chances are, you like to go home every now and then. Or maybe you're lucky enough to have parents who generously pick you up after your last class. Whatever the situation, coming home and getting a break from living in dorms is treat.

Step 1: Packing

I'm telling you, you need at to pack at least three outfits per day you will be home, just in case of course.

Step 2: Lugging your stuff out to your car

Because you only want to take one trip, but of course your car is parked on the other side of the lot, this usually involves much struggling and dragging bags.

Step 3: Trying to pick the best time to leave so you won't hit much traffic

You don't have the patience to deal with traffic, just get me home!

Step 4: Of course, no matter what you do, you still end up behind a slow driver

Just drive your car people!!

Step 5: Finally pulling up to your house

Missed it so much..

Step 6: Making your presence known to your family as you walk in the door

Step 7: Getting that home cooked meal you missed so much

Step 8: And finally, getting to sleep in your own bed

Step 9: But then realizing in a day or two, you must head back to school

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.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
