Home. The place you have been missing and the place you can always go back to. Now, the days of your freshman year have come to an end, and your arrival home has come much sooner than you could have ever imagined. Back to the same old suburban streets, high school friends and home-cooked meals. Back to curfews, summer jobs and supervision. We all love coming home, but sometimes, it's hard getting back into the swing of things after being gone for most of the year. And sometimes, there are just a few things that you could get away with in college that just won't cut it at home anymore...
1. No longer is it acceptable to go downstairs at 2 a.m. for a snack...
"You're eating...again?"
2. Not planning on telling your parents where you're going? Don't even think about it.
"Text me when you get there and be home by 12!"
3. No longer are half of your friends just a hall away...![]()
*Cries as you realize how far away you actually are*
4. But, hey! No more sharing a hall, means no more communal showers, which means no more shower shoes!
5. It feels like you haven't driven in years...![]()
But really, which pedal is the gas and which is the brake?
6. Sleeping 'til noon on a Sunday (or any day)?
7. Forget about it, it's time for church.
9 a.m. mass here we come!
8. Wanna sit in bed/on the couch all day and watch Netflix?
9. Nope, not happening. Time for a job.
But hey, while there are a few things you most definitely have to adjust, at least you have three months of sunshine and fun to get you back in the groove!
