Missing your home away from home.

The Struggles College Students Face At Home
Holy Cross

When its finally time to come home for the summer after finals are done with all college students feel a different range of emotions. At first we are excited to come home , then two weeks go by after being home and all you want to do is be anywhere but there. You realize once again , that everything at home is different that what you are use to at school.

1.Sleeping In

All you wanna do after such a exhausting semester is to sleep in. After a while it gets old and you start noticing that your parent judge you so hard if you sleep past nine.

2. Friends are out of Range

The thing about being home is that your friends probably do not live near you. (especially if your school is about 7 hours away from home , like me ) There are friends at home but its the summer everyone is probably away on vacation or working on different schedules which makes it hard to hang out.

3. Notifying your Parents

Coming from an atmosphere where you just get up and leave not having to let anyone know where you are going is pretty hard t do when you are home. It is probably one of the most annoying things ever having to tell someone you are going out , every time you step out of the house. It sometimes feels like your back in high school again.

4. Rules

After living with your friends and doing what ever you want, it makes it pretty hard to come back home and being back in the routine of house rules. Having to do chores outside of your room seems pretty unfair. Worse part is everyone doesn't have the same sleep schedule that you are custom to, so keeping quite around the house sometimes seems impossible.

Being home definitely makes you appreciate your college way more. The thing is you always want to be at school when you are home and when you are at school all you want to be is at home. No one can ever win.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
