Homesick

Right now I'm at college, so home is a three hour drive from here. I came to school around the second week of August, and haven't been home since. I think it's the longest I've been away, and I'm really starting to miss it. This semester has been super busy, so there just hasn't been a good time to head home. I'm also car-less, so going home just for a night is pretty impractical. I just miss sleeping in my own bed, and having my mom in the next room over. I miss driving down the same familiar roads. I miss my backyard. One thing I miss the most about home is always having my dog, Hershey(seen above), right there. This is definitely the longest since I've seen her. She's getting really old, so I'm always a little scared something might happen while I'm gone. I think I'll get to go home in about 3 weeks though, and I cannot wait. I know there are a ton of people who are in the same boat I am, so I shouldn't be complaining. I just miss it. I also apologize for the very whiny post today... it won't happen again for a bit, I promise.

I'm curious, how have you dealt with being homesick?

Begin Again

Mondays and I have an interesting relationship. Usually I despise them, because that means I have to head back to school/work. There are those rare occasions though, when I see them as a new beginning, and that's when I start to think Mondays aren't so bad. I start my Sophomore year of college tomorrow which is just crazy to me. I know there are many crazy & exciting & tiring Mondays ahead of me, but I think I'm ready for it. To those of you who are starting back at school, or work, or really anything.. I wish you the best of luck! I think it's going to be a great year.
