When I was home I wanted to come back to school. Now that I'm back and starting to settle in again, I realize that I miss home. I miss my bed, my friends from home, my favorite restaurants and my family. But, out of everything I miss from home, I miss my mom the most.
When I am with my mom, she is always the responsible one. Now that I am back at school I have more freedom, but I also have more responsibilities. My mom isn't cooking my dinners, cleaning up after me, or doing my laundry anymore. Having to do all these chores myself makes me realize how hard she works to make me happy. Now when I go home I will try to help her out more to show her how much I appreciate her. After 19 years of cleaning up my messes, it's the least I can do for her.
My mom is more than just my mother and housekeeper. My mom is my best friend. We go on lunch dates, go shopping and get our nails done together. We talk for hours about anything and everything. She listens patiently and gives me advice. She never judges me and always seems to know what to do. I always seem to forget that she was once in college so she really does understand what I am going through. I miss having my mom around to just talk with.
My mom knows me better than anyone. She always knows how to cheer me up when I'm sad and can tell when I need some space. When I am in a really bad mood, she is the only person who can calm me down. She lets me vent but she also lets me know when I am being ridiculous. She will hug me and wipe away my tears. I need my mom to come to college with me so she can comfort me when I have a big test or when a boy breaks my heart.
My mom is the best mom in the world. I don't know how I survived my first year of college without her here with me and I don't know what I'm going to do this year either. She is my rock and my role model. When things get tough, I know I can always count on her. Mom, please come back to college with me.
