Let's be honest, everyone is ready for winter break. Maybe you're a homebody. Maybe your roommates are getting on your last nerve. Maybe school is kicking your butt. Whatever your reasoning, it's probably a good one. Here's a list I've compiled of the top ten reasons every college student is ready for winter break.
1. You just want mom's home cooked meals.
Let's face it. Ramen noodles, peanut butter and jelly, and macaroni and cheese is totally getting old.
2. Because you never want to see that one professor EVER AGAIN.
He's out to get you, it's just a fact. Why else did he give you such a bad grade on that paper you wrote last minute because he also had four other assignments due and an exam in the same week? Oh yeah. That's right. He was under the impression that his class was the only one you were taking.
3. It's time to see your high school friends again.
Some of them went to school out of state. Some of them stayed home. Regardless, it's definitely time for the squad to reunite.
4. You miss your furry friend back home.
And as much as your mom thinks shes helping by sending you photos of Fluffy every single day, it's really just making you miss her more.
5. So that you actually have a sanitary living space again.
Let's be honest. Your mom vacuums more times in one week than you or your roommates have vacuumed all semester. You wonder why you're so sick all the time? Well maybe the fact that you have never touched a dust pan the entire semester, you have a week old Doba burrito in your fridge, and a sticky, fruit fly infested wine spill that you never really got around to cleaning up all have something to do with it..
6. Because the holidays just don't feel right without your family.
No matter the level of dysfunction your blood line openly claims, there is nothing like reconnecting over drunken board games and story telling that keep you belly-laughing until you've got a six pack.
7. There's just nothing like sleeping in your own bed.
Whether you're sick of your legs dangling off the twin sized mattress you've got in your dorm room, every time you attempt to sprawl out after a long day of the school library, you miss waking up in your own bedroom that you don't have to share, or you simply look forward to waking up in your home to the smell of mom cooking breakfast, we can all relate to this one.
8. Because let's face it...it's that time of the year where you're feeling over-worked and under-motivated.
How nice will it be to finally have no obligations what-so-ever? No papers due. No exams to break your back studying for. No alarm to set in the mornings.
9. You finally have a little time to enjoy some classic winter activities.
Anything from pond hockey and drunken sledding with the buddies, to ice skating and Christmas movie binge watching (Netflix and chill?) with the bae, anything is fair game.
10. Because let's face it.. school just SUCKS.
You've been working your butt off making up for the missed assignments, the days you knew you shouldn't of skipped class, but the darty was calling your name, and you just deserve a break, dammit!
