    2. And you're all about the perks of being home.

    3. But then the questions start, and at first, you're happy to talk about yourself..

    4. But when you've been asked too many times, it starts to get real.

    5. So you decide going out with your hometown friends is the answer.

    6. And it's A LOT of fun.

    7. But you still run into old acquaintances who want to know about your life.
