I Am Going Home After A Year And I Cannot Wait

With less than a month for me to leave for India, I cannot contain the excitement and anticipation.

I Am Going Home After A Year And I Cannot Wait
JYOTI KUMAR

When I came back from India at the beginning of this year, I knew I would not be able to go home for a year since I would be working over the summer and taking summer classes.

I knew it was going to be hard but I also knew that it was going to be worth it.

And it was true.

I became more independent, I became more responsible and now, I could differentiate between right and wrong.

While I sit here counting days left till I board my flight to Mumbai, it only seems fair that I list out the main thing I am looking forward to when I visit home.

Having said that here's what I am looking forward to with my family when I go home:

1. Fighting with my sister

My little sister is "My Hamster." She is nine years younger than me and as much as she would hate me calling her a hamster it is true that she is. Being the elder sibling, I felt that every lesson learned, everything that I know about life I had to teach her and that is why even today when I facetime her I ensure that while we talk I also tell her what I know.

Apart from this my sister being the sass queen that she is going to be extremely sassy when I go home and that is something I cannot wait for!
The little fights, the teasing and my little sister sassing my that is what I look forward to when I meet my sister in 25 days!

2. Gossiping and fan-girling with my dad

My Dad is one of the few people who I see the most while I am away from home at college.

My dad has an office 20 minutes away from my campus and thank god! He gets work to come here to come and visit me! But while he visits me it is always only for a day or two which makes it worse since it makes me homesick and sad and makes me miss everyone even more!

While I cannot wait to go back home I especially look forward to our fights, but also gossiping and fangirling with him.

My dad is the one person who will take an interest in everything and makes it easy to fangirl with him and gossip with him about everything.

From Movies, TV Shows, Sports to people in our family we can talk and gossip about them all!

3. Hanging out with my mom

While I just saw my parents and my sister in May, it feels like forever since I saw my mother and cannot wait to hang out with her!

She is one of the few people who I can talk to about anything and even if I do not say anything she knows when something is wrong and is always able to cheer me up.

While I cannot wait to hang out with her, I cannot also wait to gorge on her food!

My mom is one of the best chefs that I know and I am not the only person who says this (I have a large group of people who will back me up on this!) and I cannot wait to eat everything that she cooks for me.

While her food and hanging out with her is something I look forward to, I cannot wait to just go home and spend time with her!

Having said that, I would also like to give a huge shoutout to my grandmom and my uncle whom I miss a lot and cannot wait to see after a year!!

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.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds.

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.
