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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
