Coming home from college is the icing on the cake of not having class for a week. I can honestly say being home for the last week has been such a great time to catch with family (and sleep) as well as just relax. Here are some of the things I didn't realize I missed so much until I was home.

1) Family

I knew moving to college would be a tough thing to do. I never knew that I would miss the little things about my family though. Coming home just makes me realize how much I really missed random dance parties in the kitchen, or having a lazy day on the couch.

2) My Bed

Everyone knows college dorm beds are not ideal. They aren't known for being comfortable or roomy. They aren't terrible, especially when you top it with a nice memory foam topper, but nothing makes you realize how comfortable you could be like coming home to your nice, big bed.

3) Food

Food at college isn't terrible. Especially going to on-campus food options that aren't the main cafeteria. But I still really do miss those traditional home cooked meals that I never truly appreciated when I was in high school.

4)TV

Obviously TV is available on campus. But nothing says home like the thousands of channels as well as your favorite shows, that you missed while away, recorded to your TV and ready to watch.

5) Free Time

Nothing says home like having as much time as you want to do what ever you want. Being home is like escaping from your busy life of class and exams to just loaf around and wear your sweats.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
