College Rule #4: Going Home Gets Harder Every Year
It’s true. I’m in “my” room right now. The room I lived in all during high school. Once I left my mom made it into a sort of guest room, putting my quirky personality in the closet. Now I’m in here and it feels like I walked into a doll house, and I’m the crazy psycho loose inside.
Three months. Three months of being at home for the summer, in a room and life that I’ve completely outgrown. I’m longing to be back where I belong, in the world of sweatpants and ramen, beer and frisbee.
In the movies people always learn something about themselves when they go home. I fear all I have to learn is that I don’t belong here in anymore.
Which I guess is comforting, somehow.
For any high school seniors reading this: stay friends with at least 10 people from high school. I’m only friends with five, and not all of them are here this summer.
Gosh. I feel like it’s the end of the world right now. I suppose that’s a sign of immaturity.
Maybe I do still have something to learn here.
