8 Questions You Ask Yourself When You Come Home From College
msecnd.net

Coming home from college for break is bittersweet. You are nervous but yet, you are so happy and content with it. You have so many thoughts about what you’re going to do and what you need to do. Here are wight things you probably think to yourself during that time at home.

1. Did Mom make dinner?

There isn't anything better than coming home to food on the stove that your Momma made. You have been living off the cafe and ramen for the past two weeks because you used all your money on your school card.

2. Where’s my fur baby?

You walk in the door and the first thing you see is your favorite fur baby. All you want to do is lay and cuddle. You've been living off everyone else's fur babies that are on campus or at your local pet store.

3. Where’s my best friend?

You have left your best friend for four months at least, and you're completely lost. You expect them to be at your house right when you get there. They most likely are, but if they aren't, they will be in the next hour or so. Missing your best friend is just as bad as missing your family.

4. How did I ever get by with a twin size bed?

Your twin bed is getting pretty old by this point. It's nice to lay in your own bed and sprawl out. It still has conforms to your body like it always has, unlike your school bed. You also don't have to climb up or down stairs to get to your bed.

5. What place should we eat at first?

You now have gone four months living off Cookout when you went out to eat because you were broke. Now you can go anywhere you want because your parents are paying. Those favorite restaurants you crave are finally now within driving distance. You don't even know what to do with yourself and all the good food you're about to eat.

6. What's my roomie up to?

You've eaten almost every meal with this person. You have spent late nights complaining about going to class the next day. You've shared a bathroom and learned the select times to take showers and now you have your shower all to yourself.

7. Should I take on more hours at work?

I am a broke college student and I need some hours. I can't get a job at school because I have too much going on so this at home job is my only hope to make some money. I need the money to pay for good food instead of Cookout all the time. But who am I kidding, it will probably still go to Cookout.

8. Do I need to bring these clothes back?

Living off of sweats and tshirts makes you think that you may need to bring back some normal clothes back to school. But then you get to thinking, Am I actually going to wear them? Probably not. Even though I have so many cute clothes and I wish I could wear them but that’s a lot of work to put into an outfit. My sweats are cute, right?

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
