You&#8217;ve missed it; the nightlife, independence and your flatmates. You&#8217;re glad to be back but\u00a0something feels different, a feeling you can&#8217;t shake &#8211; are you missing home? Subconsciously we all miss certain aspects of home life.<\/p>\n<p>Cooking, personally I&#8217;m a great cook but there&#8217;s nothing more satisfying then eating a meal someone else has prepared for you.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve all had them, those dreaded six hour days and then you have to go back to your halls and cook? nah, don&#8217;t even remind me. Remember school days when everything was cooked for you? (Apart from in pointless food technology lessons&#8230; half an hour is not long enough to prepare and bake a half decent chocolate cake!).<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a long week, you look forward to hopping into bed with some nice clean PJ&#8217;s but oh wait&#8230; you have no clean PJ&#8217;s because you kept putting off the washing. So what do you do? Do you go and do the washing? pah no, we&#8217;re students, we get nostalgic about a time when we didn&#8217;t have to do our own washing.<\/p>\n<p>Vroom Vroom&#8230; making the noises just isn&#8217;t the same. When I&#8217;m at uni I miss my car!<\/p>\n<p>Cruising around your home streets&#8230; Causing trouble in the Matalan car park (come on, we&#8217;ve all done it). Then you come to uni and you have to walk everywhere or even worse&#8230; use the bus :-0 . Then you go home after a month then the unimaginable happens, you&#8217;ve forgotten how to drive!?<\/p>\n<p>On a serious level guys, It&#8217;s natural to miss home. If you feel home sick then call home, Skype or talk to your friends.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading,<\/p>\n<p>Mario Elia \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kentstudents\/mario-elia\/\">This post is by Mario Elia<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The holidays are over, it&#8217;s time to drag\u00a0yourselves back to Kent.
