10 Things College Kids Miss About Home

With halloween now safely under our belt, it seems as though the winter holiday season is fast approaching. As a college student, there is so much to look forward to. Here are the top 10 things that every college kid misses and cant wait to come home to on break.

1. Their own bed

I am way too excited about sleeping in my own bed again. Only 14 days left. Not that I'm counting or anything...

2. Home-cooked food

You can only eat a dining hall so many times before it becomes the most boring thing to ever hit your tastebuds. I have only been here for 3 months and I have a new found appreciation for my mom's food.

3. Quality time with friends from home

This is something I am so excited about, actually being able to hang out with your friends,in person rather than on FaceTime. It will be a little surreal, but i cant wait!!!!

4. not having to wear shower shoes.

I probably will forget and go to put my flip flops on once I am home. Actually being able to go into a shower, with no shoes, and not be scared you will get a weird fungus is a going to be a blessing.

5. Spending time with the fam.

It is the main reason you will be going home, and I don't know about you but I have missed my family more than i thought i would these past few months. Even though I am sure we will start to annoy each other after a few days, it will be good to be all together again.

6. Their room

You don't appreciate it until you are living with another person for the first time. For those of you who had to share a room growing up, I am so sorry.

7. Driving around by yourself

I don't want to EVER want to have to check the bus app again, 99% of the time its wrong anyway. not having to rely on a bus or having to walk 80 miles in a day, will be extremely lit.

8. Visiting your old high school

It's weird but its one of the things i am most looking forward to. I want to go back and walk the halls where I used attend everyday, even though It will probably make me feel like I am old AF.

9. Free laundry


i don't know about any other school.. but laundry is $1.25 for every wash and dry. if you think I am not taking advantage of a free laundry machine in my basement, you're lying to your self.


10. Sleep


Sleeping and eating are a college kid's favorite pastimes. To be able to actually sleep in, in your own bed, it will be a dream.


Even though college has been an amazing experience so far, we are all very excited to finally be able to go home for an extended period of time.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.
