It's been a long semester and, to be honest, we're all just ready to go home, so here's the definitive list of all aspects of home we're looking forward to this holiday season.

1. Food, Real Food

Nothing against cafeteria food—ok, everything against cafeteria food—but nothing compares to mom's cooking and a fully stocked fridge.

2. Cats...Dogs...Hermit Crabs...

No matter what animals live on your island of misfit toys, everyone misses their childhood pets—even if they are minions of darkness that seek only to constantly trip you.

3. Dinosaur Pajamas

Who are we kidding, we wear those anyway.

4. No Roommates

Sure there's family and siblings, but you don't know how good you've got it until you've spent an entire semester living with two other emotionally unstable college students that you've never met before. Think about it.

5. A Killer VHS Collection

Every Scooby-Doo movie ever made, what more could you want?

6. Seeing Stars

This is only relevant for people that grew up in the boonies, but being able to see a full spectrum of stars is incomparable.

7. A Normal Sleep Cycle

You have the chance to fix what you messed up while you were away because, shocker, people actually sleep at home. I know, it's an unheard of concept.

8. The Bed

You can go back to a time when you didn't know what a Twin XL bed was or what it feels like to sleep in one.

9. No Couches With Mysterious Stains

We all sleep on the stained couches at school anyway, but it's nice not to worry about the scary liquids occupying the seat next to you.

10. It's Home

There's no place like home.

It doesn't matter what city, state or country your home is located in, what turns a house into a home is the people around you. So kids, remember to love family, pet your cats, and be thankful for what you have this holiday season. Oh! And sleep while you still can, you're going to need it.
