I love living in Iowa City and consider it to be a second home, but there are so many perks that come with going back home-home. Here are just a few (of many) that come to mind.

Homemade Meals

One will truly never know what they take for granted until they no longer have it. . . and for me, it’s my momma’s home cooking. I miss coming home from class and having a snack or hot dinner that night. Eat all you can while you’re home TBH.

Old Bestfriends

Coming home to such amazing friends make being home that much better. Having distance between people shows you who your real friends are, and there is truly no better feeling than that. Some people even say that nothing beats high school friends. I love you guys.

Saving Money

For the most part, you won’t have to worry about spending so much of your own money because your parents are right there with you. Tag along with your momma when she goes and buys a coffee or tag along with your dad when he makes a quick run to the store. They’re right there with you!

Unlofted Bed

My bed at home is always, and will always be, better than any other bed I sleep on. It’s the bed I grew up with and the bed that I got to choose. It’s comfy and after a long day, the most relaxing feeling is being able to hop into bed instead of climbing up.

No Sandals In The Shower

Finally! No shower caddy! No shower sandals! I can just walk into my shower and have everything there. I can take as long as I want and not have that underlying feeling of taking up the shower for too long. Bubble-baths here I come.

Iowa City, you are home now too but nothing beats home-home where you’re constantly surrounded by people you love with things you love.
