I never thought that I would say this in my lifetime; but, I cannot wait to go back to school. Don't get me wrong, I love being home. I get to spend time with my family that I normally don't see during the year. I don't have to worry about rent payments or grocery shopping. I have a hot and homemade dinner waiting for me when I get off and home from work. I don't want to sound unappreciative either – but being home and under "house rules", is not something that I long for anymore. These are the 7 things that I most definitely will not miss when I go back in two weeks:
Curfews.
Defining them. Having them changed on weeknights. Most importantly – breaking them.
Being monitored on my meal intake.
*About to walk out door* “Did you eat yet?” “That’s not a real _(insert meal here)_ “
“Talking back.”
Sometimes you’re just answering their questions. But you really can’t have sarcastic and sassy banter with your parents. They aren’t your roommates, and they won’t find the language you use comprehensible or appropriate.
Being woken up because "you're sleeping for too long."
No, it’s not power hour or tailgate time, it’s just parental time.
Having to tell someone you’re going out.
The constant who, what, when, where’s, and why’s
Having your car or truck now being a communal vehicle.
If it sits in the driveway, anyone can sit in the drivers seat apparently. Despite the fact you make the payments and pay for the gas.
Being reminded you’re an adult but still being seen as a child.
The biggest confusion of living at home. You may be old enough to liv eon your own for 70% of the calendar year, but you’re expected to disregard that all and obey everything you’re told.
Two more weeks guys. Hold in there
