Going Home

College can be a lot for some people, including a place for some to restart. However, it does make you miss your home, friends, family, etc. Most of all, I miss the food. College food isn't necessarily terrible but it is repetitive. I for sure can’t wait to go home because I miss my family and the food that they make since no school can top their cooking. There are a lot of things to do over the break like hang out with friends or spend time with family.

The break can have a huge impact on one’s life. For some college is better than home, and that reality may impact your emotional wellbeing as well as your friends and family. But it can go away by either distracting yourself or by just not going home for the break. At least for me, I can be fine with not being home for some time, although deep down I will cherish my parents cooking and the food that they put down. We go out and do some fun activities as well like watch a movie or if my brother has basketball games then we go to that and we cheer him on. Other than that, I have a good time returning home and seeing everyone and every delicious dish that is being served on the table. 

For some, it may be quite difficult to leave a college because they may think it is better than home based on what is going on in their lives and that is understandable since college is a better life for them they and should enjoy every time they are spending here, even if that means staying on campus in the cold. However, even though your family may not be a very good one or the one that you were hoping for, your family is still your family. You still care for them as much as they care for you, if not then maybe not. But still, even though you were raised into what you think is hell, they didn’t want that life for you at all. They always want you to be better than them, no matter how much pain you may cause them, they will always love you and wish you the best of luck on your wildest adventures. 

So going home may not be what you want in terms of family situation or any other reason whatsoever, but it is what your parents would like. They probably miss you like crazy because they haven’t seen you in forever, or maybe they just saw you like a week ago but they still miss having you around the house. Besides going back to your family, your friends may miss you and you can hang out with them again and do all the stuff you did with them you did before you left for college, like sneaking into movie theaters, breaking into abandoned buildings, etc. Going home could be wonderful and exciting, or could feel like your downfall.
