Narration & Description
Returning to College after Winter Break For most of winter break, I was pretty excited to come back to school, but when the day finally arrived, I've got to admit, I was suddenly homesick. I hadn’t left yet, but I felt sick, really sick. Everything I ate shot back up, and it got to the point where I couldn’t eat anything, and yet I still had troubles keeping my insides from coming back up.

I can go horseback riding, running on the dirt roads, play fetch with our three dogs, and most importantly spend time with my family every night.

The first few weeks of break I enjoyed being home because I got to do so many great things that I missed doing while away at college. Then as my friends started trickling back to school, my parents went back to work, I got bored and lonely, and so I kind of wanted to go back to college. But
