Sarah Fuller could not have been more excited to finish finals and hop on her Delta flight home to Peoria, Illinois. And while at first she worried that 2 weeks wouldn’t be enough time to spend with her family, she has since realized it is actually just the right amount of time to remember why she moved out in the first place.

“THERE’S A DIVINE REASON BYU ONLY GIVES US 2 WEEKS FOR CHRISTMAS BREAK,” Sarah yelled over the Joe Rogan YouTube video her dad was blaring from the living room TV. Our interview was cut short as Sarah was responsible for taking her little brother to his oboe lesson.

In addition chauffeuring her siblings around, other things she has been doing to relax include meeting up with old friends and laying awake at night wondering how her mom managed to say the most viscerally hurtful thing possible in the name of “trying to help.” Thankfully, Sarah says, the spiraling comes to a natural end around 4am when her mom unloads the dishwasher and uses the loudest setting on their Ninja blender what sounds like simultaneously.

“I was married with 2 kids at your age,” Sarah is reminded by her mom, who did not choose to go on a mission or attend college like Sarah did. You have so much potential, Sarah. Maybe try doing your hair with a side part again. I loved the side part.”

Sarah reports that her immediate family are not the only people she has been taking issue with.

“I just don’t remember her being that racially insensitive,” she commented in reference to her grandmother, who really just said that.

Sarah says at this point, home is making the Glenwood seem like a luxury retreat destination. Will she survive the rest of her stay? Will she hand her dad the right screwdriver when she inevitably gets recruited to help with one of his “projects?” Will her cat barf at the foot of her bed for no reason? Will she successfully dodge unwanted advances in her home YSA?

Perhaps only time will tell.
