Home Sweet Home!

It’s nice to be at college and spend the weekend here, but it’s also great to go home and spend some time with your friends and family. This weekend I went home to celebrate my birthday and had a great one!

Friday afternoon I left Clarion to travel home. My boyfriend came down to pick my roommate and I up. That night I went back to my high school to attend our annual Red and White Ceremony and the Varsity Boys Basketball game. I had a great time! I got to see a lot of my old friends and teachers. At that time, memories of high school came back. When I think of the good times in high school, I miss them, but I realize that at this point in our lives it’s time to move on and make even more memories.

On Saturday, my family and I went out to dinner for my birthday. We had a great meal! Then of course, we had a delicious Dairy Queen ice cream cake (they are so great!)

So, that was pretty much my weekend at home. Like I said, it’s nice to stay at college for weeks on end, but it’s also nice to go back to your hometown and visit. As a freshman, it’s sometimes difficult to transition from being with your close-knit family and then coming to college and not knowing anyone. Eventually, though, you form new friendships with great people and begin to make long-lasting memories at college!
