View Full Version : Why I Hate Being Home

It's fall break at my college and we have a four day weekend. So of course, most people go home. If I didn't crash my car a couple weekends ago and need to get it repaired, I would have definitely stayed at school. And now I find out it might take more than two days to take off my old hood, attach a new one, and bend something back into place. If I go in on Monday morning, give them my car, and he tells me it won't be done by Tuesday before close, I'm going back to school Monday evening.

On to the reasons I hate being home. First reason: no one else is home. I go to school two hours from home. That's the closest out of all my friends from home. I live in Central Jersey. I go to school just west of Philly. That's about two hours. I have friends in D.C., I have friends at Penn State, Boston, California, etc. You get the idea. No one comes home unless it's a major break like winter break, spring break. So I get here and what the hell am I supposed to do? I have a lil homework to do but it's not that much, and I can't focus on work while here. I'd much more prefer to work on it with my friends at school.

There's just literally, nothing to do around here. Especially with my car damaged. I can't drive around. Hell, I can't even go out and meet random people from the internet so I have someone to be with. Damnit I'm bored as hell.

And far as internet connections go, I basically don't have one. We have a wireless connection at home, but Verizon sucks so much, it is extremely weak and never stays connected for more than a few minutes at a time. That, and I don't know the decryption key for it. So I'm stuck using someone else's and that's never constant either. I'm guessing we all use Verizon.

So to sum up why I don't like being home on breaks:
1. Friends aren't here.
2. Nothing to do.
3. Nearly no internet.

You can have some of mine!!!! Please? :(

But don't you miss your family at all? It's been a week or so since I've seen mine, and I'm already hurting.

I do miss them when I'm away, but even when I'm here, what are we supposed to do? Besides watch tv, there really isn't much. And on Monday and Tuesday, they all have to work so I'll barely see them then.

I'm sorry you're bored. I'd trade places with you this weekend... well, last night I got to see Pablo so I wouldn't trade that, but today (Saturday) I had an engagement party to go to that I'd just as soon have skipped, and tomorrow is my mom's birthday so we are going out and I've had a cold so I'm not really all that into celebrating. I'm on vacation the rest of the week and I will spend it sorting through all my crap that's been stored in the garage since I moved back here 6 years ago. (god, 6 years?!:eek:) You can do that if you want to keep busy! :D
