11 Things College Students Say And Do When They Come Home

College is undeniably one of the best experiences any person can have, however, sometimes it's nice to get away from the chaos of it all. Some college students go away strictly on long breaks such as winter and fall break, but others, go back for long weekends. The funny part of it all, is all the little things the college students do or say when they're back home.

1. No more shower shoes! No more shower shoes!

Probably the best thing that happens off campus.

2. Wait, there's actual food?

Let's be real, we all appreciate a good home cooked meal.

3. Sleep

Getting more than five hours of sleep on campus is unheard of.

4. Attacking pets with affection

Some cry and some immediately drop to the floor to play with their furry friends.

5. What curfew?

Many of us students go back to our childhood home, and sometimes that comes with rules we are used to not having, including curfew. I have to be back at what time now?

6. Where's my roommate?

Majority of us college students have a roommate on campus, but at home we have our own rooms! But who are we supposed to say weird stuff to at 2 am?

7. Friends

We all freak out and can't wait to see our friends back home, but immediately miss our friends back on campus.

8. Where's the 3 am delivery?

College campus' are surrounded with awesome places that delivery crazy late, or early depending on how you look at it!

9. Driving

Sometimes taking a car to college isn't always easy... so you leave it at home. Your car becomes your new best friend. Goodbye walking and constantly sore legs!

10. Family

As much as they get on our nerves, when it comes down to it, we love and miss them.

11. I miss campus....

Before we know it we want to go back.

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.

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.
