Being at college has been an experience of a life time; however nothing beats the satisfaction of being back home. After living at college for almost two weeks I decided to take a trip home and visit my family. As I walked through the front door, I was welcomed with a bundle of hugs and vivid smiles that lit up the whole neighborhood. I entered into the living and walked straight over to the large blue sectional located underneath the bright bay window. Exhausted from the long drive I quickly seated myself on the couch next to my medium sized golden retriever who was sprawled out like he owned the place. Sitting next to my dog brought back the feeling of safety which had been missing since school started. Within minutes I felt rejuvenated and decided to go upstairs.
             I walked up the stairs, turned to the left, and at the end of the hallway was a room. I entered the room and looked around; everything was the same way I left it two weeks ago. The respect I received for my belongings, while I was away, is one of the many things I do not have at school. A curtain was above the window coinciding with the same cloud border that was neatly positioned at the top of the sky blue wall. The gray carpet that covered the floor brought all the colors of the room together. A bed was placed in the corner of the room enclosed with cloud sheets, pillows, and a comforter; the teddy bears on top of the bed were situated in the same spot they were left in. Looking at the neatness and organization of my bedroom reminded me of the comfort I felt while being home. On the other side of the room an organized desk with pictures of an array of smiles, captured my attention. Along the room were shelves filled with trophies and speakers, all which connected to one enormous surround sound stereo. Although I brought most of my belongings to college I do not have the feeling of comfort and sense of security that I have when I am home in my bedroom.
