Lullaby

I will admit: I still wish people were singing songs to me around my bed, the way they did when I was little. I try to simulate the feeling by playing Celtic Woman YouTube videos but nothing is the same. I miss the melodies as I drifted off to sleep.

That has been the most difficult adjustment of college. Many warn you about homework and tests. Some people even find exams stressful. However, I miss the soft melodious murmurs of my family and neighbors as we all huddled in by 6 ft. by 3 ft. room. I'd turn the electric blanket on, hold my purple platypus and rejoice in my happy life.

I appreciate college life but boy! do I miss the melodies before bedtime. I want to appreciate college life but I do long for those wondrous melodies. Long nights lead into great days. I hope one day my husband will sing to me.
