Do you miss your family?

I’m only about an hour away from my home (by flight) so it’s not too bad, but I miss my family. I’m really close to my parents and my sister, and I remember last year (when I was a freshman) it was really hard to say goodbye to them after moving in and I started to tear up a little. But the great thing about living in a dorm is that I made friends right away and spent a lot of time around them, so I never felt lonely or homesick. I still missed my family, but I still talked to my mom every day, texted my sister every day and talked to my Dad a few times a week.

Also, because of the way the main breaks were scheduled, the longest I went without going home was two months, so that was nice. But yeah, it’s only natural to miss your family, and even some of my friends who constantly stated that they “couldn’t stand” their parents ended up missing them.
