Winter Break

Winter break is going to be interesting. When I went home for Thanksgiving break, for only about a week, it was weird. It is not only weird going home now, but it is boring. Don't get me wrong, I like going home and seeing my friends from high school, but it isn't as much fun as being here. When I go home, it is just like being in high school again. I have all the same rules that I had living at home. I like being here and being able to do whatever I want, any time I want. I can make all my own decisions and I have so much more freedom. But when I go home I have all the rules again and I can't do what I want. I can't stay out late, I can't have friends over any time I want to, and I can't go out any time I want. Another thing is my friends. When I went home for Thanksgiving break, it was already a little weird with my friends from high school. We have hardly seen each other since school stared and being together now, things are a little strange. I never expected that it would be strange to hang out with them again, but it definitely is. Another thing about friends and going home is the fact that here, my friends are always around. I can open my door and a lot of my friends are within a hundred foot radius. I can walk down the hall instead of driving to their house when I'm at home. When I'm here, I can hang out with friends any time of day. I can hang out with them until late in the night, and no one can complain. It just seems like everything is more fun here, even doing nothing. But when I go home, I am not going to be able to have as much fun. Not only because there are so many more rules, but because home is jsut not as much fun!
