1. My Dog

I have grown up with my dog and haven't been away from him for more then two weeks. I could never imagine not seeing him for months at a time. I assume many can relate since your dog is always there for you because they never judge you and as long as you play with them or pet them, they'll love you forever. Leaving my dog will be by far my hardest goodbye I'll have to say.

2. My Best Friends

Although I have many friends that I have gotten close to throughout my time in high school, I have two best friends who will be the hardest to leave. When you tell someone every inch and fact of what goes on in your life and see them almost every day and then are separated from them by 5 plus hours, it's crazy and heartbreaking. It seems almost impossible to create that strong of a bond with anyone else. I do hope to find best friends when I get to college but no one will ever replace my girls from home.

3. My Sister

My sister was definitely hard to say goodbye to when she left for college two years ago, but the separation might have made our relationship stronger. I always felt like I had more comfort being at home while she was at school, rather then how I'll feel when we both go to separate schools. At home, I could go into her room and still steal clothes that she left at home; it made the switch of not coming home to her everyday feel less weird. Siblings will always fight, but the forgiveness from that fighting makes your bond closer together.

4. My Bed

I have trouble getting out of my bed in the morning. Everyone just wants to get into their own bed at the end of a long day and that is definitely what I look forward to. My friends and I recently stopped having sleepovers because all we want to do is sleep in our own beds. I've heard several people say that the beds in their dorms are uncomfortable and that you should definitely invest in a egg crate. Sleeping is very important to me, so I hope that I find it comfortable.

5. Jersey Bagels, Pizza and Taylor Ham

I have lived in Jersey for my whole life and have traveled almost the entire United States since my parents love road trips. To me, the pizza in any other state just isn't as good. It doesn't taste the same and the dough isn't as good as the dough we make here in Jersey. (To get really specific, northern Jersey pizza is better then southern Jersey, but that's just me being extremely picky about where I order pizza). Bagels, my goodness, the only bagels that come even close to Jersey bagels are New York, but that's only in the city, which is very close to where I live now. Lastly, Taylor ham, that I've noticed is called "pork roll" almost everywhere else. Where I live, a Taylor ham egg and cheese sandwich is what almost everyone asks for during breakfast

These things will all be hard to say goodbye to, but I hope I can find a new home in Rhode Island
