Everyone says they miss the freedom of college when you return home to your parent's house. However, as Summer is winding down, it is hard not to think about all the things you are going to miss once you are on your own again.

1. Having a fully stocked refridgerator

Parents always have food in the house, and if you can cook, they always have the staples lying around that allow you to eat whatever you want, whenever you want. Living on a college budget, and eating high-quality food rarely coincide.

2. Not having to pay rent

Your parents really do a lot for you, financially, so when it comes time to pay rent, or the credit card bill you racked up at school, you will miss when you had little to no financial responsibility and were able to save the majority of the money from your summer job.

3. Pets

One thing I will miss the most about being home is cuddling with my dogs. Every time I have to venture back to school, I wish I could smuggle my puppies through the airport in my suitcase. Sadly, that is not possible and I will have to wait until Thanksgiving to see them again.

4. Friends from home

It is always hard after being home for a while, to pick up and leave again. You and your friends at home get used to being around each other so it is really weird when you are no longer a few minutes away all of the time.
