I started my senior year at Berkeley this year. And despite all the papers, midterms, and intense study sessions coming my way, I was looking forward to it. Berkeley is Berkeley – and I can’t help but miss it when I’m gone. With all that said though, here are the 7 things I think me and other college students miss about home once were here.

1. Comfort

A big part of home is how comfortable it is. I don’t think I fully appreciated the beauty of a comfortable living room until I got to school.

2. Laundry

I feel like this speaks for itself. I miss not having to pay for laundry. Plus, I never have quarters.

3. Stocked refrigerator

There is a magnificent sense of security knowing that you will have food in the fridge that you don’t have to buy yourself.

4. Mom

She gets her own category because my house would fall apart without her and moms are kind of just like that.

5. Pets

If you have pets at home, then I guarantee you miss them like crazy and probably more than your siblings.

6. Siblings

With that said, I also miss my siblings. If anything, they were at least fun to argue with.

7. Cars

I miss my car probably every single time I have to go get groceries and either bus or walk back with them. Milk is heavy.
