My Room at Home

My favorite part about going home is having a room all to myself-- not just any room, my room. When I walk into my room, the fragrance of a candle instantly confronts my nose at the door. The light green walls set relaxing and soothing mood. The first thing to catch my eye is my king size bed. It is relatively low to the ground with a beautiful antique wood headboard with gold hardware on the posts. The fluffy white comforter and pillows tempt me to jump into the bed and never get up again. Against one wall is a refinished white antique dresser containing all of the t-shirts I didn't bring to college. A matching buffet table sits against another wall with picture frames of family and friends from high school sitting on top. My silver flat screen television is mounted above it. A metallic gold night stand table sits next to my bed. It is probably my favorite piece of furniture in my room-- my mom and I found it in an antique shop in Oklahoma City. My room is my favorite place in the world, because it is the only place where I can be completely serene.

This makes me miss my bed at home. I think that this really is one of the best parts about being at home. I love being at school and I love my roommates but I often forget how nice it is to really have my own space.
