After being at home in Maryland for three months over the summer, I was able to reflect on how much I love Greenville. Thinking about how much I love Greenville made me realize all of the things about it that were different than they are in Maryland. This is a list of the things I missed most in Greenville, North Carolina.

1) Friends

A lot of my friends did go home for the summer, but I met them in Greenville, so I associate them with Greenville.

2) Sup Dogs

Nothing can compare to the vibe at Sup Dogs, not to mention the tater tots.

3) The school spirit

Just about everyone in Greenville loves ECU and it is very evident in the way the community is.

4) The football games

Although the football games have not started yet, I am so excited for the first one in Pirate Nation.

5) The South

Being from Maryland doesn't really put me in the south, but in Greenville, it does. The southern hospitality is always there, as well as the things the south is known for, like sweet tea, Bojangles, Publix and more.

Now that I'm back in Greenville, it is is great to have all of these things, and it makes me realize how much I missed them and how lucky we are to have them.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:
