Originally, I didn't really want to go home for fall break. I was having such a great time at school and was finally getting into the groove of things. I felt that fall break would kind of break that groove. Unfortunately, I got really sick a few days before fall break and then all I wanted was to be back home in my bed.

Now that I am home, it is going to be hard to go back to school. I missed my family so much and have loved getting to spend time with them again. I missed annoying my siblings everyday and more importantly my dog. Still don't know how I lasted almost two months without my dog.

I realized fall break is a perfect excuse to get your friends or family together for fun events. My siblings and I went to a pop-up Halloween corn maze event downtown the other night and my family is going to Top Golf this weekend. If it wasn't for fall break, we probably would not have done either of those things. Also, it's another perfect excuse to go shopping with my mom. You have to pull the "I'm a broke college student and realized I have nothing to wear" line with them and then you're solid. They feel bad for you and want to spend time with you so they end up caving and next thing you know you're at the mall!

Since none of my friends went to schools close to one another, we haven't had time to go and visit one another. With break, it gives us the perfect opportunity to spend time together and catch up. We went to all our favorite restaurants here and drove around town like we used too.

Overall, fall break has been such a nice escape from school and I was finally able to spend time with everyone without stressing about all the work I need to get done.
