Distance

When you go to college there can be some difficulties. One is that you might start to get home sick. Some others are that the classes are harder than you expected.

One of my friends lives 6 hours away, and whenever a break comes close or she just got back from a break she starts complaing. She starts telling me and some of my other friends that we don't know how it feels to go home and then have to come back. She tells us that we don't know how it feels to miss our family.

Another one of my friends brother is seven years older than she is. So he was in college when she was in middle school, and she never got to see her brother because he went to school out of state. Now he lives out of state and comes back to wisconsin like once or twice a year.

My older cousin who is like my sister moved out to colorado. That is where he husband was born and raised so she moved out there. Now my famliy is lucky if we see her twice a year.

People do understand what it is like to miss family. It may not seem like we do because most of our family is close enough to school that if we need to we can go home. But she thinks that because most of our family lives close we don't understand what it is like not to have any family close.
