10 Reasons Going Home From School Is The Best
Brittany Clark

Sure, everyone can agree that they have being away from home to attend college, but everyone also can't deny that they love these things about coming home.

1. Home cooked meals

This one explains itself. Everyone needs to stray away from that dining hall food every now and then.

2. Laundry

If you’re lucky, your mom will do this for you when you come home.

3. Pets

Leaving them to go off to school is possibly the worst heartbreak, so you can imagine both of our excitement when we reunite.

4. Hometown friends

College friends are great, but nobody can compare to the people you grew up with.

5. Your own bed

Because sleeping in a twin bed every night in your dorm gets old real fast.

6. Your car

Sure, taking a bus around campus and the city can be nice sometimes, but nothing’s better than the freedom associated with driving yourself around.

7. Sleep

No one is around to keep you up at all hours of the night.

8. Having your own space

If you’re lucky, this means you don’t have to worry about not getting any time to yourself because you finally have your own room again.

9. Letting loose

You don’t have to worry about all of the responsibilities of being an adult that come with being away from home.

10. Groceries

Nine times out of ten, there's something always there at home to snack on, and you don't have to worry about leaving your dorm to fend for yourself when you've run out of snacks.

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.
