Home town just isn't good enough
When back during the holidays, there can be an overwhelming need to express dislike towards the home town. It ‘just doesn't compare to uni', 'there’s nothing to do', 'I can’t wait to go back' etc. etc.
It leaves people on a gap year or who haven’t moved far away slightly disheartened, so try not to be too scathing....but yeah, it is pretty boring.
