Writer's Block: School daze

Ahaha, how convenient that I'm answering this question after just having moved back on campus!
For me, it's a very push-and-pull/attractive-repulsive feeling. On one hand, home can be an intoxicating safe zone where you're not confronted with uncertainty or fear; every year when you return to school, you're forced to admit that you're growing older and coming closer to the day you enter the "real world." (Also, being in college is a bit like having a full-time job that you take home with you. Nobody is a fan of homework.) On the other hand, there's also that desire to leave home and prove that you are your own person. There's a fierce sense of liberation when you're miles away from your parents and can do what you want, pushing at the boundaries of what has defined you for your entire life up till this point.
...Yeah. That got a little rambly.
