Do you ever crave a weekend getaway? Are you just waiting with bated breath to escape from all your responsibilities?

Well, the perfect place to do so is... at home!

As a college student with loads of commitments, tests and who knows what else it can tend to overwhelm us making us want to just get away for a few days at a time.

Home doesn't sound like the most ideal vacation spot at times, but with a tight college budget, it is sometimes the next best option. Not only that, but home holds a very special place in many peoples hearts.

Think about it this way: In reality, home is much more than those few silly restrictions you have while you are around your family and especially your parents. Home is unconditional love, an endless amount of food, someone to do your laundry and most importantly, is your norm before starting your four years of college.

Before knowing what it was like to live on your own or even support yourself, you always had your parents to fall back on - most of the time. This change in scenery and way of life is one thing that can be very shocking to many. As time goes on, we college students tend to get used to life without these rules and obligations but deep down we truly miss them.

Maybe we don't miss the annoying tasks that were given to us like taking the trash out or putting your dish in the sink after a meal but at the end of the day, we college students have to do it anyway. These annoyances at home are ones that don't get to us at school, because in reality, if no one takes the trash out, it's not going to magically disappear itself.

Appreciate your ability to have a place to go to where you'll always be supported and cared for no matter what. I promise nothing beats that...not even a weekend getaway to your favorite destination.

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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.
