"Suddenly [during vacation] you have to fit yourself back in to how you lived when you were growing up. . . . There's that whole feeling of 'Where do I find myself? Am I at school and independent or at home?' . . . It's almost like an emotional whiplash: You're jumping into the freedom thing and then having to try to fit back home. . . . It's hard to see yourself as part of what you were, as part of that family."
-- Seth Ticher of Washington, a junior at the University of Michigan
"When you go back to school, that's your real life in your mind. When you come home, it's like another world. . . . You definitely get a feeling of like being a little bit in a foreign place. While I'm back home it's kind of surreal."
-- Jennifer Hersh of Washington, a freshman at Florida's Stetson University
"In school, my bedtime is like 2:30 or 3 o'clock in the morning. [At home] everyone here is in bed by, like, 10. It's different. I really enjoy on campus being around people my age 24/7. It's weird not to see friends right there. It's definitely different at home."
-- Danielle Schovee of Columbia, a freshman at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C.
