Home for the Weekend
Hi everyone! I hope you all are doing well and ready for Halloween! I hope you all had the chance to go home at least once so far this semester. It is definitely nice to be away from home, but if any of you are like me, you still miss your family every now and then. Luckily for me, home is only an hour or so away and I am able to go every weekend or so. Recently, I haven’t been home in a couple weeks and I realized how hard it really is. So this weekend I finally went home. I am the only daughter and have two younger brothers so I am the first to go to college. My parents had a hard time letting go. I thought I wouldn’t miss them that much but as I as the weeks went by I realized how different life was without my family. So now, whenever I go home, it is like a big reunion for my family. There is always a loving atmosphere when I go home that I don’t feel when living on my own. Your family is always there for you and they miss no matter how busy they are.
No matter how big or small your family is, they miss you. They are thinking and worrying about you if you are not. It’s definitely hard to go home if you are so far away but a phone call always makes a difference. If you are able to go home try to go every other weekend or so. Your parents miss you and would love to see you back even if it’s just for a few hours. Don’t forget to tell your parents how much you love them. Small gestures like that will let them know that you do care and they will feel content when you leave. Home is where the heart is and no matter how far away you are, your family will always be there for you.
I agree with you. It's always important to take time and reconnect with family. If you live too far away and cant make it home, than a phone call would definitely put a smile on their face. I personally live very closed to home, so I am thankful I can visit home more often than those who cannot.
ReplyDeleteThat’s great that you were able to visit with your family! I think it’s important to go home every once in a while. I live at home so I see my family everyday! I think it would be cool to live on campus, but I realized that I would miss my family way too much because I have a close relationship with my family. Having a close family influenced my decision to go to USF because I didn’t want to go far away and I also realized I wasn’t ready to kind of be on my own yet!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you had a chance to go back and visit! It's definitely important to make that trek back every once in awhile. As for myself, I live home so I can't really say that my parents miss me all too often. But I can definitely relate to the letting go part. I too am the first off to college and my parents struggled at first giving me all of the new freedoms that college gives you. But after the first few weeks all went well, and things are getting easier.
ReplyDeleteGoing home is very convenient for me because I live near my family. I love home and I always have fun with my family no matter what. I even visit my other siblings in Tallahassee from time to time. There's noting like family and their love.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean. My mom and I actually get along more than when I lived with her. Now we have the chance to miss each other and when i go home there is always love and care. I love going home, especially for my mom's cokking!! :)
