I miss

It's weird that I'm feeling this way exactly 1 month after landing in London. For some reason, today only, I'm feeling very homesick. Like stupidly homesick. For both Lititz and North Philly.

I miss Temple. I miss North Philly. I miss the cracked sidewalks, especially the one on Berks I have to jump over because it's literally a hole. I miss my bed. I miss my own bathroom. I miss my mirror because it made everyone look skinny. I miss leaving my door unlocked while I go to bed on weekends only so my roommates could come in and we could all just lay in bed for another hour discussing what happened the night before. I miss Dunkin. I miss Philly Style fries. I miss Jimmy Johns. I miss my roommates yelling at me because I constantly put songs on repeat for days. I miss pre gaming in the kitchen. I miss Bliss, Cj, Justin and Randy trying to break into our backyard. I miss dirty frat parties. I miss kegs. I miss the Hugh Grant lookalike from Philly Style. I miss walking to campus. I miss the tech. I miss J&H. I miss seeing the skyscrapers from my stoop. I miss laying on the couch with my roommates. I miss smoking hookah.
I miss puking in Quabs bathroom. I miss her telling me I'm every ethnicity under the sun. I miss her asking me stupid questions like "What do you check off on paper when you're asked your ethnicity? Because you're not white." I miss Quabs yelling at me like she's my sister. I miss hearing Kelly's laugh from her bedroom, knowing that she is laughing at Vine's (who still vines?). I miss Kelly barging through the front door and screaming "I FOUND MY HUSBAND TODAY!" I miss Becky constantly asking me to get stuff for her because she is always in her bed. I miss doing tickle massages with Becky. I miss Steph always being 2 hours late. I miss hearing Steph say my name in her New York accent. I miss Rachel. I miss Nick calling me a guy.
I miss day drinking. I miss driving. I miss downtown Lititz. I miss my family. I miss Mia. I miss my curling iron and straightener. I miss how easy it was to get ready at home. I miss seeing Luke, Ritchie, Jake and Harrison throwing the football on Berks Street. I miss sitting in Fox School of Business in between classes so I can scope out the cute boys in suits. I miss Turkey Hill. I miss slushies. I miss waking up still drunk and barging into my roommates room. I miss going to Owl Breakfast & Lunch. I miss 30th street station.
I miss working the basketball games. I miss the pizza they'd give us there. I miss going into the office and having Aaron and Korey make fun of me the whole time. I miss Wilbur. I miss going to Gob and Gramps house. I miss Gobbie sandwiches. I miss everyone at Temple. Literally everyone, even the people I know enough only to say hi to. I miss having the option to go home for the weekend. I miss Val, Stork, Sav and Emma. I miss my guy friends from home. Honestly, I just miss everything in America. Very tough day for me today. Super homesick. I have nothing to complain about because everything and everyone will be there when I get back. Ugh. Need my parents right now. Only 2 weeks until they're here. Hurry up.
