We all come to a point in our day where we think of things we miss about home. Although everyone may miss something different, you can't deny that once in a while you just want to take a quick trip home for whatever it is you find yourself missing. Going to college, you definitely learn to appreciate all the things that you have back home and coming home from college becomes more of a holiday. Here are a couple of things that most college kids can agree that they miss.
1. Food
Coming home almost feels as if you're coming home to a 5 star restaurant. Of course you can go out to eat while at college but nothing compares to your moms cooking or your favorite restaurants from home. Of course there are those froyo places at school and salad places at school that are "like" the ones at home, but they don't compare.
2. Your bed
You can try and try to make your twin XL college bed into something comfortable but it will never compare to your bed at home. At home I call my bed "my princess bed" and nothing will ever compare to it. Coming home from break and sleeping in your bed after a long time can be your melatonin replacer.
3. Soft toilet paper
If you've never thought of this, now you will. The toilet paper in college is literally sandpaper. You're going to miss that Charmin.
4. Dogs
Although I do not personally have a puppy, this is a huge one for most people who do. Having a dog is like having a best friend and not seeing your puppy is heartbreaking. Even though I do not have a dog, I find myself missing my friends dogs.
5. Showers (with no shower shoes)
The concept of going to shower with shoes on is a hard one to understand. I remember coming home for my first time from college I went into the shower with my flip flops. Coming home to a clean shower and not having to wear shoes is a great feeling.
6. Having someone to help you when you're sick
Being sick at school at least for me is the worst. You feel alone and you're not sure what medicine to take and how much to take of it. None of moms chicken noodle soup or mom checking if you have a fever.
7. Friends from home
No matter how much you get annoyed at them, you love them and you find yourself missing them. Those inside jokes only your home friends understand are no longer understood at college.
8. Family
Obviously talking to your mom 3 times a day like I do isn't for everyone but everyone misses there family at some point. Unlike me where finding a reason to come home and see my family is always occurring, for others coming home for holiday breaks is always an exciting time.
