Have you ever been homesick for a place that isn't your home?
I need to preface this post by clarifying something.
I AM SO HAPPY.
I love being at home.
I absolutely adore being with my family right now.
I miss them when I'm gone.
And it is so good coming home from work and seeing them every day.
I am so happy to be working right now.
Both of my jobs are a blessing.
Working at DQ is familar and comfortable.
I know what I'm doing and I'm good at it.
And my other job.
Honestly, God answers prayers.
I told Heavenly Father I needed another job to earn enough for my mission.
I needed to not be making minimum wage.
I needed something slower than Dairy Queen.
I wanted it to be somewhere where I could help people more.
And the perfect job ended up falling into my lap.
I work with a 4 year old boy as a respite worker.
And I love it.
I also feel this sense of complete peace at being home.
I don't want to be at SVU right now.
I don't want to be taking classes.
And as much as I love being an RA and DSO.
And as much as I love all of my friends.
And the campus.
And the warm weather.
I know I need to be home right now and that is so good.
But I still miss SVU.
The past few days have been hard as I've watched people return to school.
So here is a list of what I miss:
I miss Squad.
Squad is my lifelong best friends.
Believe me when I say they've seen me at my worst.
But they've also seen me at my best.
And though our numbers keep receding as semesters go on.
(Sad picture without me)
I know we will always be there for each other.
I miss the RA's.
I loved being a Resident Advisor.
These crazy people mean so much to me.
And shoutout to Reva and Cody-the best HRA's ever.
I miss soccer.
I MISS MY TEAM.
I miss Coaching Staff.
I miss Coaching Staff adventures.
I miss Coach.
I miss Facetiming home.
Not that really being with them isn't better but I still miss it.
I miss all of the SVU Student Activities.
And Institute Activities.
And even the dances.
I miss Sheetz Runs with friends.
Because Sheetz is more than a gas station.
It's a lifestyle.
I miss my friends.
And our RA chats that turned into life chats.
I miss my room.
I just miss SVU ok?
And I promise I'll come back ;)
