I came home this weekend. For the first time in my entire college experience, I called my mom and asked to come home. I actually needed the break! I have a tendency to believe that switching from the college scene to the home scene back and forth too much causes unneeded stress. However, I’m starting to realize that being in one place too long can cause stress also! Due to the busy atmosphere of my life right now along with the bad weather of winter quarter, I have been staying in the Residence Halls every night, and the idea that I always had to be doing something and I couldn’t get a break was killing me! Although I hate to admit this to my mom, sometimes you just have to go home and get some home cooking, a good night sleep, and family love. Above all, in order to survive the daily grind of college life, you need to keep a fresh perspective!
