Going out of state for college is one of the best decisions I've ever made. It's opened my eyes to so much - new friends, new places and new opportunities. If you're an out-of-state student, too, you know these 10 things are true:
1. You find yourself missing your family (sometimes more than you’d like to admit) and wishing you could just go home for the day.
2. You beg your parents to send you pictures of your dog and wonder if he/she still remembers you.
3. You appreciate your hometown much more than you did when you lived there.
4. You become much more independent — you can’t call your parents to come over and fix something when it breaks.
5. You dream about home-cooked meals and can’t wait to get home to eat real food.
6. You’ve become a pro at fitting your entire life into just a few suitcases when it comes time for move-in.
7. Sometimes you find yourself calling home just to say hi.
8. You find yourself saying “What ever happened to him/her?” about people you went to high school with but you haven’t seen since.
9. The time you do get to spend with your family and friends from home becomes much more meaningful.
10. You’re so happy you decided to go out of state, and you wouldn’t have it any other way!
