Coming home for the holidays is a strange phenomena. Everyone you grew up with is back in the same place, you get to catch up on all the family drama and old high school memories come creeping back. Not to mention the interrogation performed by family members who drill you about school, grades and your social life. Here are 10 reasons you know you're home for the holidays:
1. You and your closest friends from high school spend nearly every free moment together catching up and hanging out.
This is one of the best parts of break. There's something truly special that you and your high school friends share that can never be replaced. Maybe it's because you all knew each other during your "experimental clothing" phase, and still love each other anyways.
2. You and your siblings get to face uncomfortable family conversations together.
At least you get to suffer together.
3. Unpacking occurs about half way through break, and until then, mountains of clothes litter your bedroom floor.
This occurs due to procrastination, laziness and a little bit of not accepting you aren't on your own anymore.
4. You just want to snuggle with your dog.
You're finally reunited with your best friend, which obviously calls for hours on hours of snuggles.
5. You stuff your face every chance you get with amazing food because you finally have more to eat than suspicious leftovers and stale popcorn.
Home cooked food is the best, and you have a free pass to binge eat anything you can get your hands on. Just think of it as "bulking season."
6. Your mom always talks about how late you sleep in...
...Which is completely deserved since you no longer have anymore 8 a.ms.
7. You actually have time to be lazy and do nothing, which is considered mandatory after struggling through finals week.
This is important recovery time that should not be interrupted.
8. You get stacks on stacks from your relatives.
Your bank account finally has more than $1.78 in it.
9. You live in sweats and warm, comfy clothes until your mom makes you change.
Who would bother with real clothes when all you want to do is lay in bed all day anyways?
10. You forget how much you miss home.
Being home really reminds you how wonderful your family truly is.
