I am loving college and every bit of it! But the longer I spend time away from home, I am starting to miss Texas. Going to an out of state school was a HUGE step for me because I've never lived out of my home state before. I also find myself being homesick around the time of breaks, and fall break is coming up this week, so I'm really ready to be back in the Lone Star State. Here are some reasons why I miss my home.

1. I'm missing the state fair.

Everyone knows that the state fair in Texas is a HUGE deal, and it's still going on when I get home. However, I only have four days to hang with my family and hometown friends, so I probably won't have time to go to the fair. I'm upset.

2. Whataburger

I know that there's a Whataburger here in Stillwater, but after going and talking to other Texans up here: Whataburger is different. Sorry Oklahomans, but the Whataburger up here is not good. Peace out, I'm heading back to TX.

3. Waffle House

There's no Waffle House in Stillwater and for those that know me, I'm literally in tears just writing this right now. I love Waffle House no matter what anyone says. Waffle House is my favorite breakfast restaurant.

4. Six Flags

I MISS SIX FLAGS! I love Six Flags, and there is an amusement park in Oklahoma but it's not the same. I can't wait to go to Holiday in the Park when I go home for Christmas.

5. My bed

Even though my bed is bigger here at school than my bed at home, I still miss it... I know it's weird, but I miss my twin bed.

6. My family

Lastly, I miss my parents and my older brother. I've literally been missing my family so much. My brother just came home from instructionals, and I haven't seen him since March. I can't wait to see him.

College is fun but I'm missing Texas. My sweet, sweet Texas.
