With two weeks left in my spring semester I was itching to go home. I told friends that I couldn't wait to get up and leave school for a few months. I had almost no motivation to do any of my work. I was already making summer plans with my best friends from home. This left my parents to wonder why I was so adamant on getting out of here as soon as possible.

Truth is, I was tired of the classes and the assignments. The upcoming finals were stressing me out. Additionally, I was dreading the day that I had to carry all my heavy crap out to my parent's car. I just wanted to snap my fingers and find myself tucked into bed at home, waking up at noon on a week day.

Now that I am home, and have been for a few weeks, I want to go back. I am longing for my tiny little dorm room across the hall from my best friends. I wish I still had classes to keep me busy. I definitely miss always having something to do on weekends and not having to come home at a certain time to keep my parents happy and off of my back.

I already miss school because now that I am home, I'm no longer completely on my own. In fact, I am now basically a child again because I'm under my parents roof. I have a curfew, which is something that definitely takes some getting used to. Midnight snacks are frowned upon because "What are you doing? You said you were going to bed an hour ago!"

Also, you have to actually reach out to people, figure out their availability, and ask to hang out. At school you can just walk down the hallway and knock on your friends door. If they don't answer you can just try and try again until they are finally in their dorm room. Or, you can just leave your door open and wait for them to find their way to you. Because you can't just spend hours on end in your friends dorm anymore because you know they don't have anything for the rest of the day, you realize just how boring life actually is when you're home and you aren't sure of your friend's schedules.

I already miss school because I miss always being within a close vicinity of my friends. I miss not having to report back to my parents with everything I do. I love my home, and the people in it, but it isn't the same anymore because I have finally gotten a taste of freedom and a little glimpse into the real world.

In a few months when I am settled back into my hectic lifestyle at school... When I am absolutely swamped with assignments... When I am freaking out about an upcoming test... I will want to be home again. I guarantee it. I guess it is true that we always want what we can't have.
