From The Girl Who Goes Home Frequently

It's just as normal to like to go home as it is to stay on campus.

College is fun and exciting. Especially when you first get there your freshman year. The freedom is exciting, and for some people they cannot imagine going home for a long time, however for others going home is more appealing. Personally I go home a majority of my weekends. At first I felt lame for wanting to go home as much as I did, but now I don't see a problem with it at all. Here are some reasons why.

I like seeing my family.

I never knew just how much I depended on or needed my family before I went to college. I thought I couldn't wait to be away from home and on my own. For a month I liked being away from home but then I started to miss my family's presence. I missed them terribly when I was gone. I got homesick a lot. I enjoy spending Saturday nights watching a movie or tv show with my dad, having a dinner my mom cooks, cuddling with my dog, watching anything my precious nephew does, bantering with my brother, and talking with my sister-in-law. I love being around my family.

I like seeing my friends every chance I can.

Every time my friends tell me they are either coming home or not busy over the weekend, I always want to go home and see them. I don't see my friends from high school much anymore, so anytime I get the chance I want to see them. I always love catching up with them, having fun, and spending some quality time together.

Sometimes it's nice to go home and work.

Anytime I am asked to babysit the girls I have babysat for a couple years, I always jump at the chance. Going home and babysitting is actually fun for me. I love those girls so much, they are the sweetest little girls out there. So sometimes I just would rather go home and watch them.

I love being in the comfort of my home.

I love being home because that means I have my bedroom, a non public bathroom, a non public washer and dryer, and lots of food. Don't get me wrong dorm life is fun but sometimes nothing can beat your own bed and shower.

Being home some weekends is just more appealing than staying.

Giphy

I love college, I do. However, I am not into the stereotypical college scene so sometimes going home and having fun with my friends and family is more fun than being in my dorm. If I stayed on campus I'd just be doing all the same things I do throughout the week. So why not go home? The drive isn't bad by any means, and I love being in my hometown (well city).

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.

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.
