Transition Reflections

College gives you the luxury of having the ability to socialize for virtually every single hour of the day and night for nine months straight. There is always somebody awake. Always somebody around, whether it be your best friend across the room or your neighbors down the hall. That's something you definitely miss at home. The ability to talk to someone, borrow something, or go somewhere without having to take more than ten steps from your bedroom door at any hour of the day. Amidst the chaos of college life it is so easy to take for granted that transcendental feeling of knowing that a friend is only a step away. You are so often overwhelmed and overstimulated at college that, sometimes, you would do anything for an empty room and a quiet night. But, once you are home, and your parents are at work and your friends are a car ride away, you realize how lucky you are that for eighty percent of the entire year you have the ability to walk across the hallway, into the arms and actual homes, of your best friends.
