<p>So winter break is winding down for most people, and I've already seen the boatload of Facebook statuses that say something along the lines of "Going back to my REAL home!!!" or "Home is so boring..back where I really belong!" and stuff like that. Are any of you guys actually sad to leave home and go back to college? I love my college a lot and I'm really happy there, but I always love being at home, and I'm really close to my family. Most of my friends or people I know are either not coming back for spring break or not looking forward to it, and I'm kind of counting down the days to come home. I love both places, but I think I like home better.</p>
<p>What are your guys' thoughts? Are you sad to leave home, or ready to go back?</p>
<p>I get sad to leave my house and such, but my life is pretty much where my college is. It’s where my apartment is, where my friends are, where my boyfriend is, where my jobs are. I only got to spend 4 days at home this break and it made me very sad.</p>
<p>The more time I spend away from home, the more I look forward to going home. Freshmen year, I didn’t really care. As a junior, I love going home for a few days every now and then to reconnect with my family :). And I am more sad when I leave now than I was a few years ago.</p>
<p>I’m so ready to go back to school. I like home and everything, but it’s hard living with your parents when you’ve been living on your own for a few months. I mean, I don’t party or anything like that, so it’s not like I have to worry about all of that when I go home, but even still, I prefer being at school. Most of my friends are there. I don’t have time to get really bored. I can do things at my own pace. I don’t have anyone nagging me to do this or that.</p>
<p>On the other hand, I do have a friend who loves home more than school.</p>
<p>In the minority here. I LOVE my home more than college and am kinda sad to go back, already looking forward to summer. I love my home and my town.</p>
<p>NO WAY!!! in college I’m on my own without a person telling what to do and when to do it. When i go home, At the onset I’m happy and everybody Is happy but after 3 or 4 days things start to complicate and they get worst and worst and I think I would be happier in college. That’s my point of view.</p>
<p>I love my family and I’d take a whole minigun’s worth of bullets for each of them but yeah I really wanna go back to college. I love living somewhat on my own in my own house, I love the fun I have with my roommates, hell I love school too. It gives me something to do. I’ve been so damn bored back here. Finally saw two of my roomies for the first time since break started and it was awesome, but sure enough the next night I’m sitting here on CC.</p>
<p>Doesn’t help that I’m at my mom’s. With my sister. TEENAGE sister. Holy crap I can’t believe I used to be a little twerp who thought he had all the answers and knew everything. At my house in college, we rarely have conflict because we’re all pretty responsible adults. For instance, we had a problem with one guy not cleaning his dishes, we talked to him about it and he’s good now. Whereas my sister always makes up ******** excuses to get out of doing chores, e.g. “I’m studying for an exam” (when she’s really gonna spend 30 minutes on Facebook). So then it all ends up on me since I don’t wanna make my mom do too much work since she’s got tendonitis. Holy crap it’s aggravating, further reason I don’t really wanna have kids… I’d hate dealing with the “teenager” portion of their development.</p>
<p>Rant over. TL;DR version is that no I don’t love home more than college. Luckily my uni is very close to my mom’s and my dad’s so it’s not hard to visit them, and frankly that’s what I wanna keep it at… comin’ by for lunch or dinner every few weekends.</p>
<p>When I lived in the dorms I liked being at home a lot better because I HATED my dorm. My room was horrible, and I couldn’t stand most everyone who lived there. Being at home was just a lot more comfortable. </p>
<p>Now that I live in a nicer place (with better people, lol) I like living in my college town a lot more. My hometown is a big city while my college town is a small town so it’s cool to experience both lifestyles. </p>
<p>I don’t think it’s weird to be sad about going back to college after having the comforts of home and being around family for so long over break.</p>
<p>I am living with my parents while going to college so it’s like Christmas break year round (minus the gifts). All of these posts make me even more eager to move. I like my parents, I am just excited for more independence. A lot of my friends are amazed that I can stand it though.</p>
<p>One of the main reasons why I wanted to go to college was to get away from home. I plan on moving straight out after graduation. Hopefully I can accomplish that.</p>
<p>I love home more. As much as I like living in the dorms, I particularly can’t connect with most of the people in my building, including my room mates. Its located in a small town in NorCal and as much I love the outdoors, it is way TOO far from a big city. Not trying to be on my high horse or anything but it seems like not a lot of students here have any ambitions. There also isn’t much to do here during the weekends, it being so isolated.
Im transferring after this semester not because of the reasons I stated but because they don’t offer the major I am switching to.</p>
<p>When I dormed, I counted the days until break. I hated living at school, campus food, the complete lack of internet in my dorm room, living in a 12x10 space with another person, my roommate, having to mother everyone about cleaning the bathroom (there’d be pepperoni chunks, hair an make up always in the sink that no one wanted to claim and my roommate would leave massive hair balls all over the floor and would never pick them up and would have a serious attitude if, God forbid, I asked her too). So, yeah, I like being home a lot more. I’m also from a big city and could not get used to living in a city with so few people in it. Small town charm only lasts for so long then I get stir crazy.</p>
<p>Me liking home has (despite what they think) little to do with missing my family and more to do with just having less restrictions here than at school. Maybe if the school was in a decent sized city, I had a car and didn’t live in the dorms…</p>
<p>I hate home for the most part. I have a couple friends that I hang out with back home but I just like the friends I’ve made at school more. I’m already back at school and classes start Monday. </p>
<p>When I was home I had nothing to do except play PS3 and hang out with friends. But that got boring real quick. I guess it would have been more tolerable if I took up a winter job. Now I’m much happier being back at school and more productive. I need deadlines and stuff to do or I get bored too quickly. </p>
<p>After slaving away with obligations and school work that Spring Break that’s coming up will actually become more relaxing to me. But after one or maybe two weeks of mindless fun I have to switch it up again or I get to bored too easily. </p>
<p>If I don’t have the freedom to change mindsets every so often it just gets weird for me (I guess you can call it mild depression).</p>
