While I love being on campus and the experience of college there are definitley some things from home that I've missed. While everyone misses different things, and most of the list are first world pleasures, I was glad to be home and get to enjoy them again.
1. My Cat
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm obsessed with my cat. Getting to see her is always the highlight of me coming home.
2. My Dog
While I don't talk about my dog as much as my cat (I'm a cat person, excuse me) I did actually miss her. Coming home is always nice because my dog gets pretty excited, even if no one else does.
3. Dunkin Donuts
While there is a Dunkin Donuts near campus it's a 15 minute walk and I'm not about that life. I miss my vanilla lattes and the pumpkin donuts.
4. Target
The fact that there is no Target close to campus is one of the biggest cons about school. Target is like my second home, I can always find something to buy, and the home section brings me so much joy. Every time I come home I make time for a Target run.
5. Tuesday Morning
Tuesday Morning is another one of my favorite stores. It's basically just a random mash up of home stuff but it brings me so much joy. I can honestly spend hours in that store.
6. Driving
Okay, so driving itself is a hassle but having the option to drive myself wherever I want to go, when I want to go is the most convenient part of coming home.
7. Having My Own Room
While my roommate and I get along well having my own room is still something I miss. Just being able to have my own space (and not wear pants) is incredibly satisfying.
8. Dishwasher
I actually brought all of my dishes home from school to get washed. While I feel like I do a pretty good job washing them I definitely feel like the dishwasher does a better one.
9. Watching Netflix (Without Headphones)
This is another small thing that I took for granted until I got to school. Having my own room at home means that I can pretty much always watch Netflix without having in headphones, but having a roommate means that when I watch Netflix in bed at night I have to wear headphones.
10. Nighttime Snacks
Out of respect to my roommate I don't make or eat food when she's sleeping. While this usually doesn't bother me, sometimes I do miss the convenience of being able to heat up food in the middle of the night.
