Why Going Home is Better When You're An Adult

Free love and laundry is all I could ever ask for.

Why Going Home is Better When You're An Adult
boards1.melodysoft.com

You decided it would be a brillant move to move out of your childhood home when you were 18 because you were "an adult ready to take on the world"

Then you get out there and quickly recognize that you've made a grave mistake. Being an adult/huma ain't easy.



So you count down the days till you get to go home.

When that glorious day finally rolls around, you get off the plane and run in to your family's arms like you haven't actually been falling apart the last few months.

You enjoy all the amenities. The endless supply of free food, free laundry usage, people that love you no matter how weird you really are. (Like really weird.)

And then your parents/family spoil you and take you shopping, out to eat and to get your nails done.

But then you see your friends posting pictures of stuff going on back in your town and you get serious FOMO.

So you enjoy your last few days at home but then start packing your bag, excited to go back.

The time has come and leaving comes with a bittersweet feeling. You tell your family you love them and then head off.

Then you get back and you miss your family all over again. The cycle never stops but that's okay cause this is life and you got this.

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.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

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. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
