So, we have made it past two months. Two months of old friends, old flames, and old make out spots. I think it is safe to say that we are all ready to go back to school.

Going away to college was hard enough. We left our comfort zones, our friends, and our family. Once we got to school we adjusted to the new faces, and with each day, each face became more and more familiar. Being thrown into a situation where we literally live with our closest friends, the transition back to rules, structure, and sharing a bathroom with your little sister can cause some problems. I thoroughly have enjoyed my time at home. I loved being reunited with my bed and my favorite coffee shop in town. It has been awesome seeing my old friends as well. That’s the thing though, our friends become “old friends”. In my college experience I have met people that I have clicked with immediately. I developed such close friendships with my people from school that it made my friendships with my “old friends” weaker. There has never been arguments or fights, simply just growing apart.

When everyone leaves and gains new life experiences, everyone is going to come back different. We have all seen and done different things, sharing little in common anymore. Once I got to college, I have never felt more at home. Home didn’t exactly feel like home anymore. Home feels like my family and my friends. Home became my school. I am ready to go back.
