I am flying to Maryland to see my mom and have never been so ready to see my mom and have a break! I know a lot of parents read my blog and I wanted to dedicate this post to the parents:
I know my mom thought when I was leaving for Tampa my freshman year that I would never want to come back home and I would be having so much fun I wouldn't miss her. She couldn't have been more wrong. The one thing I've learned and I know all of my friends have learned is that home is really where the heart is and no matter how much we love school, we'll always miss home and our parents.
I don't have a lot of time anymore to go home so when I do get a chance to see one of my parents it is amazing! Just being on campus last week you could tell everyone was antsy to get home and antsy to be in their own bed with mom's food on the table.
Being away from your parents and home definitely gives you that feeling of independence but no matter how much we love our new found freedom we still can't wait to see our parents every few months.
I even remember my Freshman year when 'parents weekend' was coming around and I thought it would be really embarrassing to have my mom on campus, but it was great! Everyone else had their parents there and we could share all of our new experiences with them. Now that I'm in my Senior year, my parents don't come for parents weekend but I still get that pang of jealously seeing everyone else's parents on campus.
I could go on and on...but in the end I just wanted to let all of the parents out there who are having anxiety about letting their kids go.... that we miss you and even if we don't want to admit it we do miss home.
I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! We come come back from Thanksgiving break, have 2 weeks of classes, have 1 week of exams and then we go home for A WHOLE MONTH! Gotta love our winter break!
Take Care!
