Your first week back from college can be a huge adjustment period. Getting used to living with your family, eating home cooked meals, and seeing old friends is great, but it can also seem like you've suddenly moved to an alternate universe. Here are some thoughts that might go through your head during your first week home:
1. Has real food always tasted this good?
Anything beats dining hall food.
2. Has my dad always talked this much?
Getting bombarded with one million questions is the last thing you want.
3. When did my room become so big?
Compared to a cramped dorm, your room might seem like something out of a House Hunter's International episode.
4. I forgot about all of these clothes!
You have a totally new wardrobe!
5. I'm so bored.
If you are the first of your friends home, it might seem like you've never been more bored in your life.
6. Why does everybody go to sleep so early?
It has probably been awhile since you went to bed at 9 p.m.
7. Wait, I don't have to wear flip flops in the shower?
It's nice to finally shower in a clean shower.8. I miss college.
I guess the bad food, small rooms, and loud neighbors weren't really all that bad.
9. Wow, my sibling is actually kind of cool now!
They did a lot of growing up while you were away.
10. I'm so bored.
Seriously, friends, when will you be home?
11. It's nice to be home!
There truly is no place like home.
