5 Things I Do To Make College Feel Like Home

Hello Future Jags! Going away to college is super exciting, but you can also start to miss home every now and then. Here are 5 things I do to make college feel like home:

1) Decorate my room with pictures of me with my family. I love to have pictures in my room to remind me of all the fun memories I had back home, and to remind me of everyone back home that I love and miss.

2) I try to cook my mom's meals. While I'm not the best cook, I still like to try and recreate my favorites dishes that my mom makes to remind me of home.

3) I call and check up on my family and friends often. This makes me feel like they are still with me and allows me to still be in the loop of their lives, and them on mine.

4) I have made friends here that make me feel at home. It is very important to me to have friends who I trust and am close with, so having friends in college that make you feel like you're at home when you're with them is a necessity for me.

5) I make my room feel homey. This one might sounds goofy, but for me, having plenty of blankets and pillows makes my room feel extremely cozy, just like being at home does!
