Have you ever thought about all the things that we take for granted? I am one who doesn't ever really realize the importance of little things until those things are taken from me...gone. This weekend I took a visit home for the first time in three weeks. Some of my friends had been going home every weekend since they had moved in and I just hadn't really felt like I needed to. The main reason I really didn't want to is because I thought that I would for sure have to go through the homesickness feeling all over again so I put it off. During those three weeks that I was here, I talked to my family and friends from back home. There were times that I felt really home sick especially on those not to good days but I fought through it and I feel that I am pretty much over it now. I mean there are still times that I miss my family like crazy but I know that I am a strong enough person to make it through that but anyways back to my visit back home. I left right after my last class on Friday. I was super excited. Picture me bouncing in my seat constantly looking at my watch counting down the minutes till I got to be on the road back home. The drive is two hours long (not too bad). As i was driving home, I thought about all the necessities I had lived with out or that I had to share with many other girls since I had moved in. It made me sad but sooo excited that soon I was going to be able to have these all back. I had never realized how much I loved my own shower, my own bed, my OWN room :) (not that I don't like my roommate), and last but definitely not least homemade meals. These simple things had me jumping in my seat anxious to get home. I don't think that I have felt that way in a long time and all for what... a homemade meal, a bed, and shower. I learned something that first visit home. I have began to realize that I need to appreciate the simple things in life and never take them for granted because when they are gone, life is still good but not as good as if they were still there. Just remember that. Until next time....
