It's May, and all that separates you from a two-month long vacation is finals. As you sit in the library cramming a whole semester's worth of information into one night, visions of home are sometimes the only motivation you have. Soon it will be time to load your car with the contents of your entire dorm room and rejoin your family, friends, and even your enemies in your hometown. So what's all the hype about anyway?
1. There is truly nothing better than home cooking. Let's face it: the dining halls were great, but it's time for real food. Not pizza and chicken tenders every day.
2. You get to sleep in your own bed. No more lofted, head-hitting-the-ceiling-every-morning rock. You've got the real deal now.
3. You're reunited with your high school BFF... and neither of you know what to talk about first.
4. You get to see your dog. Your dog gets to see you. Enough said.
5. Your parents treat you like royalty because they've missed you so much. Meanwhile, you just soak it all in.
6. Your mom is there to do your laundry for you. No more scraping quarters out of your change purse and accidentally using fabric softener for detergent.
7. You don't have to wear flip flops in the shower anymore. No more wincing at the horrors of the community shower.
8. You see EVERYONE you have ever known since birth around town, and they treat you like a celebrity now that you've been off at college. Going to the grocery store? More like the Grammys.
9. You have no papers to write or exams to study for, so watching a whole season of a show on Netflix is a perfectly appropriate way to spend the afternoon.
10. Your mom stocks the fridge, which means no more Ramen noodles and stale pop tarts for dinner.
