<p>Just out of curiosity, I wanted to know how everyone's first holiday home is! How do you feel being home this long for the first time in months? Any different views on home life, friends, your town, ect.? Any comments on how you've changed, grown, or whatever? How does it feel to be back where you started? Anxious to return to the "good" life at boarding school? As always, happy holidays everyone!</p>
<p>bump it. i want to know! also, you international students and the students that live across the country and are on FA. where are you at? did the school pay for your trip home? you staying with your friends who live nearby (that'll be fun)?</p>
<p>anyone?! i would really love to get some insight here!</p>
<p>I have to say that I really miss school a ton. At boarding school you're constantly surrounded by peers and it's always a good time, and now being home after the first 3 days of relaxation it gets boring. And i've also realized that I must eat the food my parents cook me because there aren't any salad/pasta/dessert bars at home :(</p>
<p>awww when you go to boarding school you never wanna go back. i would feel the exact same way if i were you</p>
<p>I feel the same way. I've made so many amazing friends at school. I miss them like crazy. it's nice to see my family though.</p>
<p>Ditto. Missing school, but appreciating home. It's nice to have a break, but I feel as though I'm doing NOTHING compared to how busy I normally am. Gah, I miss my friends/family! (I say that because your friends at school are just as much family.)</p>
<p>What? You guys must RLY love your schools!
lol
I like being away from school. Come on. BS is nice but a break is necessary after a while. lol
HelloSunshine
It would be nice if you picked up your phone every once in a while. Hehe</p>
<p>well, i would only go home because i need a break but i could go longer without seeing my family.</p>
<p>bummping!!</p>
<p>what’s this year’s take?</p>
<p>2 kid- I started a similar thread under the parents forum :-).</p>
<p>Thanks, Alex825Mom! I stumbled on this thread & thought it was wonderful to to see the kids weigh in, too…probably most don’t bother with the old folks’ forum (grin).</p>
<p>Great idea for the kids to weigh in :-)</p>
<p>The school didn’t pay for my trip home, but I also came back for Thanksgiving. I know the school does pay for people’s trip home during winter break but not Thanksgiving if you are on FA.</p>
<p>i feel so useless haha since i am not doing any work</p>
<p>It’s weird coming home and having to listen to you’re parents again…
But actually it makes you appreciate more things but ditto about the food, not always having certain options make you miss BS food at home!</p>
<p>definitely miss BS food options - i’m gaining weight at home! but it’s so nice to see my friends and my family, though i feel ridiculously unproductive compared to how much i’m running around at school.</p>
