Missing home.

Lesson(realization) of the day: once you move away from home you realize that the things that annoyed you were the things that you would miss the most when you move away from home.

I miss being home but at the same time I really do enjoy being at college. I was always really annoyed with the way my sister tried to sit so close to me when watching TV at home or how she would try to cook dinner every night. Now that I am at school I miss seeing her everyday and I miss her trying to make a dinner we would all like to eat. My brother and I like different sorts of food so it was hard for us to settle on one thing.

I also miss how easy it was to find a job. Some days I hated going to work but it was really nice to have one. I wish it were as easy now to find a job as it was for me in high school.

There are days when I miss how easy it was to live at home. I didn't have to worry about bills or buying groceries. I didn't have roommates to please really. I could pawn the dishes off on my sister or brother. It was kind of nice.

Most of all, I miss the weekend nights where we would go rent movies and just hang out at home. All of us just watching some movies, playing games and getting some work done. I wish it would happen more often. I didn't realize growing up meant less time with my family. I have learned to appreciate my weekends at home more though. Any time I get to spend with my family and friends at home is wonderful.
