Lonely In Paradise
As amazing as this experience has been thus far for me here in Palma, there has always been something on the back of my mind: I miss home. Homesickness has not hindered me from having a great time here, but at times it has been very hard. I miss Wisconsin, my family, my dog, my bed, American food and culture, and last but not least my school. I knew I would miss Holy Cross, but not this much. So I’ve decided to make a list of a bunch of things I miss about it.
- People watching in Kimball
- The beauty of campus in the fall
- Lobby shop breaks from Dinand
- My friends
- Scoop Your Own Ice Cream Night
- Mahoney Wednesdays
- Tailgating before football games
- My boyfriend
- The victory of getting a table in Rehm Library during finals week
- Clark 1 and Clark 4
- Cookies from Cool Beans
- Hunter boots and North Face rain shells
- Easy Street
- “Who’s going out tonight?” … “Everyone.”
- Hanging out on the Hoval when it’s nice out
- Spring Weekend
- Halloween for 5 nights straight
- Moodle stalking or Goholycross.com stalking
- Pregames with my best friends
- The hike up to Hart just to work out
- Kimball holiday dinners
- Holy Cross professors
- Going up to Hogan 3 to use the good bathrooms
- The painting and sculpture studios
- Seeing that one person you really did not want to see at Kimball
- Communal suffering in Dinand
- Reliving weekends nights in pjs and blankets in K & J’s room
- Clark Lawn
- Freshmen dorm rivalry
- Going to the Edge to get free pizza
- Blackstone trips
- Immersion trips and friends
- Syllabus week
- The constant landscaping
- Sis
- The Bank of America machine eating someone’s card way too often
- The elevator key and avoiding stairs at all costs
- That awful feeling knowing you have to walk up the Kimball stairs
- Parking lot parties
