Home

I've noticed since I've been at school and away from home, how much better I get along with my parents. My freshman year at college was different. I couldn't wait to get away from them and barely ever got a hold of them. It was nice only talking to them or keeping in touch once a week or even two weeks. I even remember sitting at my computer and getting my first text from my mom. I was so shocked and proud of her because she doesn't have texting. It said "Hello! Well since you never call or get in touch I got texting." This made me laugh. But I do believe the texting helped so we stay in touch more. We probably even text at least once a day.

Now that I'm a junior, I've noticed I call home more. Not just because I need something, but because I just want to talk and see how they are doing. I also have driven home more to visit. Sometimes instead of staying at my house with my friends, or boyfriend, I'd rather go home and hang with my parents. We get along better and barely ever fight or bicker. I think this might be because my maturity level.  I believe now I can relate and understand them better and vice versa. But now it's nice to go home and I look forward to it instead of dreading it. :)
