4. Going Home


I didn't realize how much I miss home until about a month into college. I realized that I need my parents more than I thought and how much I miss my family and my friends, home cooked meals, my car, etc. Don't get me wrong, I love college! It is so much fun and I love living on my own. I am just really looking forward to going home for a couple days just to be back with my family and in my own bed. You really don't realize what you are missing until you have been away from it for a while. I am also very excited to see my coach and my swim team. My swim team was like my family. I saw them more than my family on hard training weeks. It will be really fun to go back to the old times. Hopefully college hasn't changed me too much! :) I love being at BYU, just sometimes, the dorm rooms and the Cannon Center food doesn't feel as homey as I would like. I also realized how much a mother does for you. With me being sick in the past couple weeks, I realized how my mom took such good care of me when I was sick. Now, at college, I actually have to get the medicine for myself, and figure out ways to make me feel better. I really missed my mom just comforting me and also just knowing exactly what to to with every sickness. I guess this just comes with the price of growing up.
