best of both worlds

Hello all (as in all four of you who read this)!
I apologize for no post yesterday, as I was en route back to campus for second semester and then I spent a little over two hours unpacking and putting everything away in my empty suite. I'm pretty sure I am one of very few people who got in yesterday rather than today, so it was really quiet and lonely in my return.
Last night, as I sat in solitude with plenty of time to reflect, I think I came to a pretty valid conclusion about what it means to be in college. For me, I came from a very close family. We've been through our fair share of series of unfortunate events and petty arguments, but we legitimately enjoy being with one another, and that made leaving them to go to college extremely difficult. Luckily for me, I made lifelong friends within the first weeks of school. I'm not sure if that is due to the unusually friendly school atmosphere to which I belong or if my quickly-formed, lasting friendships are a reflection of my own personality; either way, I created a home away from home.
Going back home for break l was overwhelmed with excitement to be with my parents and sisters, to lie on my couch all morning perusing through recorded trash TV on DVR, eating home-cooked meals and taking a bath (rather than cramped shower) for the first time since I'd left home. At the same time, however, I missed the warm Pacific breezes that campus brought me, staying up all night laughing with my suite-mates and especially the company of my new, closest friends. I've decided that although God has blessed me with two unbelievable environments and communities, this blessing has it's strings. From now on, I'm always going to be missing some component of my other world. Hannah Montana was really onto something with that "best of both worlds" nonsense (and yes, I just made a Hannah Montana reference. Don't judge, I have an 8-year-old sister.).

As for right now, I'd really appreciate some more livelihood on campus, because I am in desperate need of a fresh squeeze from my college family.
