The Homesick College Freshman

I love the college life, but I really miss home!

The Homesick College Freshman
jaymantri

I’m homesick. Well, not really homesick, just missing home is all. Don’t get me wrong, there are definitely days where I am glad to be living on my own and making my own experiences out of the life I’m living as a college student. But sometimes, you just miss your mom’s cooking, or your dad’s hugs, or fighting with your sister, or wrestling with your brother. A place where your cats roam free and wild and there is always a bed to crawl home too. Well, that’s my house anyway, but everyone has a place like that. Whether it be your family home, a family member's house, a playground, a sports field etc, there’s nothing better than a place to call home.


So mom, thank you for always listening to me complain about my problems and braiding my hair. For making sure I was always fine when I wasn’t at my best and making sure I always looked my best. I could never thank yiu eniugh. You were not only my best friend, but also a great mother and role model and I couldn’t ask for a better example. You are the perfect medium between strict and easy-going and I’m glad I grew up knowing more about myself because of it. I love you! Thank You!



Dad, thank you for being such a great model of hard work. You always gave me a reason to work harder even when I though I did my hardest and taught me to never give up or in. You made me understand that Boswell’s never give anyone a reason to look down on us or think less of us because we were great and powerful in our own way. Teaching me to never care what other’s think and to always stay true to myself has always been a life motto and I promise to make sure the people around me and my kids know the power of the Boswell.



Jaylen, thanks for always being my second ears. I don’t think there is a closer person to me than you and I thank you for that. It is always a great thing to have someone close to you to always talk to and share your burdens and strifes with, not to mention dance and freestyle rap with, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be with than you. Thank you for always giving me some of the best advice of my life and always being by my side when I needed you. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be a great big brother. Thank you!




Lastly Jaream, Now, I know I don’t say this often, but I love you. I know I don’t treat you the best and I take your shoes and I make you do things for me , but I really do appreciate all that you’ve done. I’m glad I got to grow up with a little sister because now I know what it feels like to live with someone the complete opposite of me. Yes, it is annoying at times but, I don’t think I would trade it or anything. Because of you I had a best friend that I never had to leave home to hang out with or completely be a jerk too. I know I wasn’t the nicest all the time, but thank you for always being there for me. I love you.



So thank you guys. Thank you for being my home. Whether it was a call up at school when I wasn’t feeling my best, or even sending up money when I was broke from all the colleging I’ve been doing. You’ve alway been my home and I love you guys. Thank you, and I can’t wait to see you again.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
