Free Week- Family
One thing I thought I would never admit is that I would be homesick when I went to college. For the months leading up to college I could not have been more excited. I honestly dreamt about the day I would be on my own, making my own decisions, and being in charge of my own schedule. I even applied for summer term because I wanted to get out of my house so bad. I wasn't sick of my family, I just was ready for a change. For the first months it was bliss. Being on my own was a dream come true. I didn't need to tell anyone where I was going or what I was doing. That was the case from June to December. I am here to admit that about mid January I was homesick! I missed being home with my family, I missed California, I missed my house/ bed, and I missed my friends. This week/ weekend was a very unlucky and lucky week for me. I got really sick on Monday and I was supposed to be flying to Portland on Friday to visit my best friend for the weekend. I waited until Wednesday and when I had only gotten worse and the doctor said I would be sick for 10 days, I decided I was going to have to cancel my flight. I was so disappointed but my mom felt bad that I was sick and had to cancel my flight she decided to fly me home for the weekend. So I hobbled along to the airport where I flew home. So I am now sitting at my house sick, but feeling so happy I am here with my family and not in the snow storm in Provo. Being home makes me realize how much I love my family and how I took for granted the love I feel here. I hope when I return back to school after the weekend I will be rejuvenated all rejuvenated and ready to finish the semester. So yes, I was homesick and I love my family.

Your family is beautiful! I know how you feel, I was exciting to be on my own and independent but I still find myself calling my mom, dad, sister, or brothers every day! I miss them so much.. I miss my home. I miss the days when we were all living under the same roof playing Pretty Little Princess. Luckily we have memories to help us get along the way!
ReplyDeleteI totally understand what you mean about being home sick. I am homesick all the time however just recently my family moved from NY to Utah. I am lucky I get to visit them more frequently than I would have but I am sad that I'm so far away now and rarely get to visit the true place I call 'home'!
