So I want to start this off by telling my parents that I am sorry for my strange behavior. There are a lot more behavioral norms when you are in college. Things that are acceptable there, that would not be at home. It is going to take a little bit, trying to get accustomed to being back home, but I mean well. I know it may seem as if I am not trying, but I really am. I know college students everywhere can understand where I am coming from.
So mom and dad, please bear with me for the next couple of days or even a week or more. I am trying to adjust to living back at home. It doesn’t mean that I don’t want to be here, believe me, I do. Nothing was more exciting than knowing I would have a home cooked meal almost every day. And believe me, I appreciate your meals a lot more now. Having to eat ramen, dining hall food, and frozen dinners really causes a student to appreciate their parent’s cooking. So I am sorry if I forget to unload or load the dishwasher the first couple of days, I don’t mean to. I am just used to not having to.
I also want to apologize for coming and going, and forgetting to tell you about it. Or for when I have friends over and not tell you about it. I mean well, I really do. It’s just that I am used to doing those things. It was a hard transition into college. From going to where I always had to ask for permission, to never having to. And now I have to transition back into being at home.
I am sorry for my random snacks throughout the day and night. Being in college I had to learn time management, and part of that was eating whenever I could, no matter the time. While I am on the subject of time, I am sorry for doing laundry at weird times as well. Whenever you are in a dorm, the middle of the night is the best time to do laundry. I am also sorry for staying up all night, and sleeping in until 9 or 10 AM. I just got so used to having to stay up until like 3 a.m. to finish something for a class. This shouldn’t last too much longer, I promise.
Above everything else, I want you to know that I am happy to be home. I am happy to be able to spend as much time with my family as I possibly can. My family means the world to me, and I am sorry if I still have my college habits. I know it is a little adjustment for the both of us, since you were so used to me being gone. Thank you for being patient, and understanding where I am coming from. Thank you for being there for me, and for helping me get through a tough semester. I definitely need this summer break, and I am glad I can spend it with such a love family.
