There is nothing better than leaving home and going to a completely new state, or even country, for college. You experience culture in a new place, meet new people and have all kinds of new and exciting experiences. The only problem about falling in love with a new place is that eventually, you have to leave it for the summer. Having the absolute best year of your life makes it so much harder to be pulled away from it. "Friends" explains just how hard it is during the last few weeks in your new home at college.

When you look at your calendar and realize that you have two weeks left before you go home for the summer, and you've done nothing to prepare for it:

As much as we all love our home towns, it never gets easier leaving the place that you made your own. We feel lucky to have a place that we love so much that when we leave, it feels like we are forced. We are lucky because it is a very special thing to be in love with a place and with people that we never want to leave it. Shoutout to the greatest year ever—here's to a long summer of counting down the days until we come back to the greatest place in the world in August.
