5 Things To Do When You Go Back Home
snoopn4pnuts

College is my home away from home, but sometimes I miss everything back in the 518. Just like any other college student I'm sure they can't wait to go home, have a home cooked meal, and not have to worry about homework at all. When you're home there's a few things you can do that you can't really do when you're away.

1. Friends:

Yes you love the friends you made in college, but there's nothing like going back and seeing the friends you made when you were in high school. Your college friends are awesome, but they don't know all the embarrassing stuff you went through like your friends back home do. And when you're the only one who went away for college, it's a non stop hug fest

2. Get money:

After attending classes the last thing you'd want to do is work. But you could make money! You'd be set to come back to college with all the money you have in your bank account now.

3. Hang out with family:

Being with the people who care about you a lot makes the Holidays even better. When you're surrounded by family and being in the same house you grew up in, it could make you realize how much you miss being home. Plus, your family knows how crazy you are, but it's OK cause they're crazy too

4. Hit your favorite restaurant in town:

There's nothing like having a hot McCarroll's breakfast sandwich!

5. Get new clothes:

You can return to college with a new wardrobe! You can give the old pair of jeans a break now that you have a new pair of jeans! New shoes, new shirts! As my dad says, "new year, new me!" You can come back to college looking stylish as ever

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
