29 Thoughts You Have When You Come Home From College

1. Can’t wait to be home and in my own bed!
My bed is my favorite piece of furniture in my house (along with the fridge). No other bed will compare to the one I have at home.

2. Free food!
F-R-E-E F-O-O-D!

3. I really don’t want to unpack.
I honestly don’t mind living out of a suitcase for three months.

4. Is coming home at 3 a.m. still acceptable?
If your parents are anything like mine, then you know what it’s like to be constantly asked what time you’re coming home. Don’t get me wrong, my parents still give me a good amount of freedom, but I’m not used to having to tell anyone when I’m coming home. In all honesty, I don’t even know when I’ll be home.

5. It’s official: my dog is my only friend.
And I'm fine with that.

6. Maybe I’ll stay in tonight.
I don’t know about you, but staying in and lying on the couch seems a lot more amusing that taking the train to see my friends …

7. Okay, I’m bored now…

8. But really though, where are all of my friends?

9. So, can I go back to school now?
I love being home and all, but it’s time.

10. No, I don’t know how my world religions class will help me find a job.
If there’s anything that my parents love to ask me, it’s how every single one of my classes is going to help me find a career. I don’t know, it just seemed like an interesting class.

11. Don’t bother me for the next three days; I have a date with Netflix.
"Orange is the New Black" is my only priority right now.

12. Yes, no more wearing flip flops in the shower!

13. All of my #TBT posts are of my friends at school…
I need new friends.

14. Mom, buy me this.
Guilt-tripping my mom into buying me things “because I’m never home” is the best.

15. No seriously, is it time to go back now?

16. How many more weeks?!?

17. Sorry Mom, I forgot I had to tell you where I was … every second of the day.

18.Why is my best friend not right down the hall from me anymore?
This is stupid.

19. Is frat-hopping still a thing?

20. You mean, I have to pay for drinks now?
You see, this is why we need frats.

21. Why can’t all of my friends from school just come home with me?

22. “Hey! How’s it …” Never mind, I don’t know them.
I’m so used to seeing someone I know walking down the street on campus, I forgot I’m back in Chicago. Oops.

23. Wait, I still have to do my own laundry?

24. Why am I still poor?

25. Yes, I can drive again!

26. Ugh, I forgot traffic was a thing.

27. You’re making me pay for gas?
I’ll walk.

28. So, about this whole friends thing …
Yeah, where are they?

29. Okay, joke's over — take me back now …
Please?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
