Missing Your Friends From College

"...but being back home also means being away from your college friends who you've grown pretty attached to over these last couple of years."

Missing Your Friends From College
Tania Sarabia

You go back to college and you miss your family and friends, you go back home and you miss your college friends. There really is no winning here. Being home for the holidays is all about spending time with family and catching up with your friends from home. You love being home because you've missed it and everyone there, but being back home also means being away from your college friends whom you've grown pretty attached to over these last couple of years.

1. You miss binge watching Netflix with them

Yeah you still binge watch Netflix at home, but who's going to fill you in on everything you missed out on?

2. You tag each other in everything

You can't just lean over and show them the meme or video that made you laugh, so instead you tag them in it and hope they find it as funny as you do and wait for a reply or text telling you how much they appreciated it.

3. Being at each others houses 24/7

When you're back in you're hometown sometimes it's hard to remember there are rules to follow in your parents home and in your friends parent's homes. You miss college, where you could just be as loud as you want in the middle of the night at your friends house while eating food you know you shouldn't.

4. College town gossip

Just like your college friends can't talk to you about your hometown gossip, your hometown friends can't talk with you about your college town gossip. It's all very frustrating.

5. You miss their jokes

It's funny how both sets of your friends have different types of humor, and even though they might not know it, you really do miss their jokes and the weird things they would say.

While being away from your college friends, you learn to appreciate them a little more. You're always talking about how you miss home, your friends, and family that you never stop and realize that you now have another set of friends and family. Even though we miss our friends from college, just remember you'll be reunited in a month. So, savor your time with your friends from home and your family because you have all next semester back in your college town!

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.
