Since August 21st, I have been living in the bubble called Colgate University. I refer to the University as my home in conversations and I love the freedom that comes with being in college. Don't get me wrong, I loved coming home for October and Thanksgiving break, but the short break from college life made me miss my friends, teachers, classes, and the school I call home.
I knew that Winter Break was going to be a struggle. I left December 16th and I will return on January 20th. That is 36 whole days of being with my family and high school friends. 36 days away from the freedom that I so much enjoyed.
Being home comes with its pros and cons. Here are some of them:
Pros:
1. Home-cooked meals
Cons:
1. Not seeing the people you live with (shoutout to E3).
2. Missing my comfy college bed.
Even though it's nice to sleep in my bed at home, the college bed is the one I am used to now.
