I went off to college and now I'm coming home for a month and to be honest I'm a little different. I'm definitely not the same high schooler that left in August. I know seeing your baby grow up can be hard but I hope you can understand what I want during my break from college. Here's what I want you to know now that I'm home.

1. I love you and I missed you a lot more than I'll ever let you know.

2. I am so incredibly tired, oh my god do not be concerned about my sleeping pattern just let me hibernate for a few days.

3. Speaking of sleeping, I really missed my queen sized bed. I might just have to stay in it for what I will admit to being way too long. Just me, Netflix and the dog.

4. I'm having a great time in college don't worry about that. I made amazing new friends and regardless of what my little sister is telling you, I'm really not partying too much.

5.Feed me please. College food is okay but I really did miss your cooking. I never considered you to be a master chief but school food really made you shine in comparison. Please make those chicken cutlets I love and try not to make a comment about how many I can pack away, they're really good okay.

6. College is really difficult. Between studying and extracurriculars I've been working very hard and sometimes grade point averages don't reflect that hard work. Don't worry about my grades, I promise to bring them up next semester.

7. I got used to a very different lifestyle while being away. Yes, I would love for you to help me with my laundry while I'm home but I also have a new sense of independence. I know the way I like certain things done, don't be offended if I tell you to back off and just let me do things myself.

8. Yes, I do want to spend time with you but I also really missed my home town friends so expect me to want to hang out with them as much as I can.

9. Even if I get annoyed with all your questions and get tired and bored of living at home. Remember I'm very grateful for everything you do to make it possible for me to away to college.
