With my first year of college coming to an end (yeah, you heard that right, isn't that insane?!), I've taken time to reflect on some of the silly little things I find myself missing about home when I'm away.

1. Parents' goodbye hugs in the morning

For a sure start to a great day.

2. My dogs greeting after a long day

HE'S JUST SO FLUFFY. WHO DOESN'T LOVE FLUFFY?!

3. Seeing my siblings on a regular basis

Living with the same people for 19 years and then not seeing them everyday is just flat out weird.

4. REAL FOOD

The caf food just doesn't cut it.

5. Driving

I used to hate driving but every time I'm home the first thing I do is hop into my baby for a long drive.

6. More specifically, driving wherever whenever without paying an uber

I'm not made of money here.

7. Family dinners every nights

Catch up on the family gossip, talk smack on people, vent and rant about the day, what could be better?

8. My own shower

I love my roomie and suitemates, but I love having my own, much larger shower at home.

9. A living room for when my room gets boring

Especially for my fellow peeps that don't have a tv in their room - netflix in bed can only be so entertaining before you just need to get out.

10. Appropriate temperatures

It's freezing. It's scorching. There is no in between. You turn off the AC and air still comes out. You just can't win!
