Coming into college, I would have never guessed just how many little things I missed from home. From my missing my brother and sister to just laying in my own bed, you really do realize that the little things are what matter the most. Whether you live 3 hours away or an hour away, everyone will eventually miss home just a little. Here are the top 10 things you miss from home when you are at school!

1. Your own bed.

No matter how hard you try, your school bed will never be as comfortable as your bed at home.

2. Your room.

Similarly to number one, your dorm room is just not as cozy as your bedroom. Also, while I ADORE my roommate to pieces (shoutout to her- love you roomie), there are some moments where I miss having my own room.

3. WiFi

At school, the WiFi is TERRIBLE so it is always nice coming home and not having to wait a million years for a page to load.

4. Free laundry.

Who would have thought that something so small could end up being expensive? Doing laundry at home is always nice since you don't have to worry about how much money you need to wash one load of clothing.

5. Private bathrooms.

Having a communal bathroom just isn't always ideal. At home at least you're sharing a bathroom with one or two people, or if you're lucky, no one.

6. Home-cooked meals.

Because dining hall food gets real old real fast.

7. Your pets.

Who doesn't miss their furry friends when they're at school!

8. Your friends from home.

Your home friends have a special place in your heart as you all watched each other grow into the person you are today.

9. Your siblings.

Whether younger or older, you have a connection with them that can never be beat. When you're at school, there are times where you just miss being around your siblings, making jokes, watching YouTube videos, or singing songs at the top of your lungs.

10. Your mom.

Because your mom is the best person out there.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
