"Why do you go home every weekend?" "Where are you going?" "Where do you live?"

These are questions I get all a lot when I am at school, but especially on Fridays. Some people choose to stay at school over the weekend. Me on the other hand, I usually decide to go home whenever humanly possible. This doesn't mean I don't love my school, because believe me...I do! The weekend is a time for me to get away and breathe. The weekend is a time for me to sleep in my own bed and wake up to my cat in my face.

One of my favorite things to do on the weekend is to be with my loved ones. I miss them so much during the week, I can't stay away from them any longer. It's nice to go home to a home cooked meal instead of the normal school food. My favorite part is when my kitty cuddles up to me while I'm doing my homework; that is something I don't get at school.

By Sunday afternoon, I am ready to get back to my second home and tackle the week. OK, maybe I tackle some weeks better than others, but you know what I mean. The weekend away from school gives each week a fresh start. When I stay at school over the weekend, I feel as though the week drags on for ages.

Anyhow, there is just a certain comfort of being home. The place where you grew up and your parents live. Your teddy bears are all at your home too. Your pets are all around and you don't have to wear shower shoes. Oh and you get to do your laundry for free! That's sure a plus.

I may not have a valid reason to leave college for the weekend, but sometimes you just have to make a trip home.
