Coming home is always a relief. Most likely, you aren't concerned with paying for anything while home, and your parents do all the things to run the household. You can sleep for hours, binge Netflix, and drink all the good alcohol and not have to pay for it. If you are anything like me, though, you will find a hundred reason to be nostalgic. These are the things you will find when you come home.

1. A mess

Last time you left this house, you were probably running late from waking up at noon. Your childhood room greets you with a mess. Oops

2. Old Twilight memorabilia

Your room will forever be how you left it at 17. Your walls were once covered in Taylor Lautner, Green Day, Cole Sprouse, and a slew of other bad Seventeen Magazine posters. Maybe not all of them are out and about, but some remnants still cling to your walls. Similarly, your walls are still probably bright pink or green dots.

3. Five socks and all your missing bobby pins

Your room seems to transform into the house from Halloweentown 2.

4. Your MCM is my TBT

Approximately three of your old guy friends from high school will hit you up. These boys must have a sixth sense for girls coming back into town. Maybe college did them well, or it’s Rose Colored glasses, but damn. Also, they are just convenient. They live like a block away, and you won't have to deal with them in two weeks. If you decide to “catch up,” their parents will freaking glow while drilling you with questions about your future.

5. Weird shit your mom kept

My mom has all my artwork (that I generally forget about every time I leave the house) hanging up. All those wood carvings you had to to do in Woodshop somehow show up.

6. Family Classics

These are usually based on heritage or tradition. Be it Wooden Clogs, Enchiladas, or Chocolate Chip cookies, these always show up in abundance.

7. Old athletic gear and instruments

Why did you quit the clarinet? Wouldn’t it be great to pick it up again?

Wow, remember when you were a jock? You could have definitely gone to the Olympics, if you had continued playing, or worked out more, or actually been good at the sport.

8. Rando High School people

Whether you're in Walmart or that trendy new cafe downtown, you will see someone you went to high school with. Neither of you will know what to do, and the whole situation will be awkward. Just keep your head down.

9. At least Five DIYs you want to do

You have ALL this free time, and you know, you just never get to DIY anything. This could be a new freaking you. Alas, you buy materials for five DIYs, start three, and finish zero. Your mom will chastise you for wasting your money.

10. An appreciation for where you are now

You might be sick of “adulting,” but give it a day at home and you will find real appreciation for what you are doing. Home might be comforting, but there is good reason that you left.
