I Am Going Home After A Year And I Cannot Wait

With less than a month for me to leave for India, I cannot contain the excitement and anticipation.

I Am Going Home After A Year And I Cannot Wait
JYOTI KUMAR

When I came back from India at the beginning of this year, I knew I would not be able to go home for a year since I would be working over the summer and taking summer classes.

I knew it was going to be hard but I also knew that it was going to be worth it.

And it was true.

I became more independent, I became more responsible and now, I could differentiate between right and wrong.

While I sit here counting days left till I board my flight to Mumbai, it only seems fair that I list out the main thing I am looking forward to when I visit home.

Having said that here's what I am looking forward to with my family when I go home:

1. Fighting with my sister

My little sister is "My Hamster." She is nine years younger than me and as much as she would hate me calling her a hamster it is true that she is. Being the elder sibling, I felt that every lesson learned, everything that I know about life I had to teach her and that is why even today when I facetime her I ensure that while we talk I also tell her what I know.

Apart from this my sister being the sass queen that she is going to be extremely sassy when I go home and that is something I cannot wait for!
The little fights, the teasing and my little sister sassing my that is what I look forward to when I meet my sister in 25 days!

2. Gossiping and fan-girling with my dad

My Dad is one of the few people who I see the most while I am away from home at college.

My dad has an office 20 minutes away from my campus and thank god! He gets work to come here to come and visit me! But while he visits me it is always only for a day or two which makes it worse since it makes me homesick and sad and makes me miss everyone even more!

While I cannot wait to go back home I especially look forward to our fights, but also gossiping and fangirling with him.

My dad is the one person who will take an interest in everything and makes it easy to fangirl with him and gossip with him about everything.

From Movies, TV Shows, Sports to people in our family we can talk and gossip about them all!

3. Hanging out with my mom

While I just saw my parents and my sister in May, it feels like forever since I saw my mother and cannot wait to hang out with her!

She is one of the few people who I can talk to about anything and even if I do not say anything she knows when something is wrong and is always able to cheer me up.

While I cannot wait to hang out with her, I cannot also wait to gorge on her food!

My mom is one of the best chefs that I know and I am not the only person who says this (I have a large group of people who will back me up on this!) and I cannot wait to eat everything that she cooks for me.

While her food and hanging out with her is something I look forward to, I cannot wait to just go home and spend time with her!

Having said that, I would also like to give a huge shoutout to my grandmom and my uncle whom I miss a lot and cannot wait to see after a year!!

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
