Observation
College has caused coming home to be weird.
"Duh, you didn't think it would?!??"
No, I knew it would. Just it is weird in different ways.
~When everyone's at home, people facebook a lot less. You can check it every five minutes for an hour and Nothing Happens!
~There are no room mates/hall mates at home. You could walk down the hall to see what everyone's doing, but your parent's will just get annoyed at you for walking up and down the hall so much.
~To find a friend, more than a walk/facebook message/IM is necessary. You actually have to pick up that phone thingy and call people!
~The wall phones are useful for more than incoming calls. What?? You can make long distance calls on something else than a cell phone?
~Food for free (like really free). Not even a card swipe is needed. Just open the fridge.
~NO TRAIN TO WAIT ON/GET WOKEN UP BY. Very important for all Goshen College-ites. Can I get an amen?
~A real mattress. No more sleeping on a hospital bed.
~Boredom isn't accompanied by guilt for not working on homework/paper/study.
~Miss my college friends!!!
EDIT #1
~Less quote board updates. At least for me, my parent's/sister say a lot less funny quotable things for my Facebook quote board. And even if I put something up, only I would get it. Where's the fun in that?
EDIT #2 (care of Megan)
~So much sleep!!! I mean, enough said right there. Sleep. Sleep on weekdays. Sleep on weekends. Oh, but no sleeping in on Sundays ala GC.
Not an exhaustive list, but it's things I never really thought about before. What are some other unexpected things you notice when you go home?
