This weekend, I decided to go home to see my family.
Making time to spend time with my parents is not something I would say I go out of my way to do. However, there are a bunch of things my family provides me with that are well worth spending a weekend of grilling about grades to receive.
1. FOOD. Yeah, sure, we all get by food wise at school. We can make some EasyMac, and use a K-Cup, but that's pretty much it. Nothing beats a home-cooked meal. The best feeling is coming home to the kitchen smelling like my mom's specialty dinners. They taste good and make you feel great.
2. LOVE! (Mushy but true). I walked into a room filled with my immediate family, my cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents, and felt like I never left home. The feeling of unconditional love from those who care about you most is rejuvenating and stress- relieving after a hard work at school.
3. My Puppy. I have nothing to say about this besides that if you have a pet, you know how I feel. Opening the front door and watching my dog run out to me makes everything better.
Overall, going home is great. Parents can be super annoying and make you want to leave as soon as you walk in, but they mean well and catching a break from college is crucial.
