Today, I got a text from my Wellesley friend in Oregon asking how my break is going. We talked about Christmas and how nice vacation is. It was so weird to hear from a Wellesley friend. It feels like I’ve been away for so long already. I was really happy to talk to her though because I realized that there is a lot I miss about Wellesley.
I miss having fun things to do on campus all the time (like movies and ted talks). I miss having friends always around me. I miss sports a lot. I can’t wait to come back and run track. I really miss being busy.
Being busy was the one thing I couldn’t wait to take a break from… but now I’m realizing I miss it. There isn’t much to do at home. It’s been great to see family and old friends. I’ve missed the people here so much. And while I’m not quite ready to end my epic vacation yet;) … I do find myself wishing there was more going on here.
After New Year’s, I’ll be back working at the local movie theater. I’m very much looking forward to that. I miss working there. My bosses are wonderful. Working will keep me busy:)
Coming back home after my first semester has been so strange for me. I’m so happy to be back but I also remember why I wanted to go to Wellesley so much. I love being near the city on a beautiful campus. I love being able to participate in athletics. I love my new college friends. I love Wellesley. And I miss it.
I think when my epic vacation is finally over, I won’t be too terribly sad. I have a wonderful place to return to.
Happy New Year to all! I hope everyone is enjoying family and friends as much as I am:)
