Going away to college is a major transition and there are a ton of things that you'll miss from home, but you will eventually notice that you'll also miss college when you come home. Everyone has different opinions on their school, but I'm sure that we can all agree on these four things that we'll all miss when we come back home.
1. Your Friends
Once you go away for school, you grow close to your friends quickly because you see each other so often. These are the people who you spend all of your time with and leaving for break means not seeing them every minute of the day. Your friends are no longer a walk down the hall or across campus. There are no more late-night food rights or all-day hangouts.
2. The Food
Going back home means home cooked meals, which are great, but that also means leaving behind the infamous off-campus restaurants that everyone on-campus orders. There's no more pizza, wings, and Chinese food from all of those popular places that you order from at least once a week. Also, coming home means no late-night delivery if you don't live in a college town. Good luck trying to order food at 2:00 a.m. No place that delivers will be open.
3. Unlimited Food
Living on campus means having a meal plans, which means unlimited food during the dining hall hours. Coming home means saying goodbye to buffets for all your meals. At school, you can walk 20 feet to the dining hall and have everything from pizza to sandwiches to burgers right in front of you and all for free. This is probably one of the only things that I miss about having to eat at the dining hall.
4. The Freedom
Being back at home is a great feeling, but it also means that I'm no longer an adult who is making my own decisions. I'm under my parents' roof again and that means that I have to abide by their rules. This means going back to curfews, chores, and having to pick up that one thing that your mom forgets when she goes food shopping.
