So every now and then, it hits me that I’m in college. Just earlier this year, we were all still in high school and college seemed so far away. Now it’s Week 13 and we are almost done with our first semester as college kids! By now, we most likely don’t a map to figure out where classes are, have planned out the perfect weekly meal plan and know when to do laundry. Going home for Thanksgiving will to be so exciting. I have not been back since September and I’m very much looking forward to it. Showers without flip flops, controlling the remote, FREE washer and dryers, home cooked meals and being able to drive anywhere! Oh yes, I am very eager. Also seeing my family and friends is going fun. Growing up, I always said how I was not going to miss my brothers very much when I left for college. But I find myself texting them every day. Somehow my being gone has brought my siblings and closer together. What I’m not looking forward to is the storm of questions. Sure I don’t mind answering questions about college and sharing stories of all my Purdue adventures, but I can only do it for so long. I can already see all the relatives shooting questions by the dozens. I just have to remember that they all mean well and are just excited for me. Seeing my high school friends is going to nuts! My group of six close friends went to five different colleges so story-telling time is going to chaotic. I have not seen half of them since August and the others I haven’t seen since September. My time back home will be divided between my friends and family at home.
Highlights From this Weekend:
-11:11 on 11/11/11…Epic wish!
-Purdue/OSU football game…rushing the field? No big deal
-Sunday Brunch…probably my favorite meal all week
I completely relate with you and where you're coming from. I haven't been home since August, and it will be great to come back to clean showers without sandals, homemade food, and seeing my family. I especially have been starting to talk to my brother more. I'm kind of surprised that I miss him. We never really got along until this summer. It wasn't that we hated each other, we were just interested in different things. Now I talk to him at least three times a week. I think the best thing though will be sleeping in my own bed. I can't wait for that part. (ENGL 106)
ReplyDeleteI did not even consider the barrage of questions I would be getting during Thanksgiving break. That won’t exactly be something I will be looking forward to. I too have tried to keep in touch with my family while at Purdue, but ever since October Break, I feel like I have been too busy to keep in touch. This has not made my sister very happy. Unlike you, I won’t actually be going home. Instead, I will be at both of my grandparents’ houses in central Indiana for Thanksgiving. And, believe it or not, I won’t be bringing a ton of laundry that needs to be done. I will be doing laundry myself, just before I leave. I hope you enjoy spending time with your friends. I won’t be seeing mine until Christmas. I haven’t seen one of my friends since graduation because he left for college in Utah soon thereafter. (ENGL 106)
