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.

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).

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
