Christmas break is finally here and I couldn't be happier. I get to hang out with my family and friends and love on my dogs for three weeks before I have to go back to school. Being home has me thinking about all of the reasons why I get homesick during the normal school weeks.
My family
I'm super close with my family and do so much with them, that being away from home was kind of a struggle. I missed hanging out with them and I missed forcing them to hang out with me.
My dogs
My dogs are like my best friends. They're always there for me, they love me no matter what, and they're always so excited to see me. I'm obsessed with my dogs and I can't believe I get to spend so much time with them.
My Own Space
I live in a dorm, so sharing such a small room can get a little uncomfortable sometimes. I love my roommate so much, but I'm a girl who likes her own space and I love being in my own room and being able to have alone time.
My friends
Oh my goodness how much I miss my friends so much. These gals that were there for me through high school are like my sisters and it is so hard to go from seeing them every day to almost never in such a short amount of time. I'm so thankful we get to see each other over the break.
My home town
The place that I wanted to leave so badly now has me thankful I get to spend so much time here before I go back to school. I missed the shops, the restaurants, the coffee shops, and the place I missed most: target.
While I love being in college and experiencing a new place and getting to know new people, I love being home and seeing my friends, family, dogs and all of my familiar surroundings. I know in about a week I'm going to miss my college friends and town but for now, I'm so grateful for the 3 weeks I get to spend time where I am.
