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.

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
