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.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
