Being a college student, winter break is a MUST. There are so many pros of being home, but you will start to miss college even if you hate to admit it.
1. Having your car.
This mostly applies to freshman, but not having your car on campus is so frustrating because you always feel trapped. Being able to have the ability to go wherever when you're home is the best feeling.
2. Home cooked meals.
Good bye dining hall food, hello Mom's homemade lasagna.
3. Your own bed.
That moment when you realize how you don't know how you survive in a twin bed and are so overwhelmed with space and comfiness.
4. Working.
This part sucks, but if you're anything like me you blew through all your money first semester so you're left with no choice so, get ready to go back to your summer job.
5. Seeing friends.
Although you love all the new college friends you made, it's great hanging out with home town friends. There's so much to catch up on and as a plus you can catch up at your favorite restaurant from back home!
6. Local coffee shops.
Because let's admit it, the small Starbucks options my school has to offer is just not cutting it.
7. Christmas/ New Years.
AKA the best time of the year.
8. Having "me" time.
College is a crazy time with little to no time to relax. Being on break is awesome because you don't have to stress about anything regarding school and can just sit back and relax. So, put on that face mask and take a bubble bath; you deserve it.
9. Netflix and Hulu are all your life seems to consist of.
The amount of hours I have spent watching The Real House Wives of New Jersey is rather disgusting.
10. Just wanting to go back to college.
Being on break is all fun and games, but if you love your school, you'll start to miss it immediately. Especially your friends.
