Where's home?

This past weekend I went home for the first time since I left for college. I thought it was going to be great seeing my mom and my dog along with all my friends for the first time in a month. But it was not the same. Home did not feel like home. When I reached home I realized how much I missed everyone on my floor and what they were doing and what I was going to miss out on. I realized that instead of calling the place I grew up in my home I kept saying I cannot wait to go back home (Muncie). Not even an hour after reaching home I was already texting my roommate telling her about my speeding ticket. I’m not sure if it is just me but I feel like Muncie is my new home and home is just not the same anymore.

    I felt the exact same way when I went back home to Carmel. Things just did not feel the same. It seemed like the whole world had completely gone in a different direction while I was in a world that I loved so much. Talk about awkward. haha, but yeah I feel ya!

    I know what you mean. When I went home I felt like I was alone. My parents were mad at me because I didn't want to spend time with them, but I've spent the past 18 years with them. I don't know how I'm going to survive over winter break or summer. That time is going to be the longest and most boring time ever.

    I felt like that the first time I went home also. I almost felt awkward and out of place, like I don't belong there anymore. And like you I was texting my roommate all weekend asking what she was up to.
