1. You get to hug your mom.
Sometimes that is really all you need.
2. Â Your dad’s homecooked meals.
Because you forget how everything other than Ramen tastes
3. Â The ambush of unconditional love from your dog.
Why isn’t everyone this happy to see me?
4. Â Being taken care of.
Laundy? Done. Â Meals? Â Don’t worry about it. Â Adulting is hard, shout out to Mom and Dad for giving you a timeout.
5. Seeing old friends (and enemies).
It’s nice to see who is doing well and who is, well, getting what they deserve.
6. Filling your brothers/sisters in on your life in an excited and slightly competitive way.
Yeah, well I have a 3.6 GPA so0o0o…
7. Grabbing everything you forgot to bring when you first moved in.
Rainjacket. Â Duh.
7. Happy nostalgia.
Each time you go home your town gets a little smaller, your home feels a little different, and you realize how much you have grown.
