Freeze Frame

Like many other college kids I am home for the holidays. However on the DePaul quarter schedule that means I am on break for 6 long weeks...really home for the holidays. It is nice to be back with my family and to return to a city that I know so well but I cant help but feel like I have put my life on pause. Everyday I spend in Chicago I feel like I am moving somewhere. Moving forward, changing, learning something new. But my life back here is a life that I have lived before. So I am officially on hiatus from my newly developed grown-up life and returned to the comforts of home cooked meals and a mom alarm clock that never wakes me up before ten and always rings with coffee in hand. I hope this doesn't mean I have to go back to high school though because calculus was hard enough the first time!
