Going away to college has its perks. Yes, you get to be on your own and do whatever you want without someone telling you what to do. But if you are anything like me, I tend to get home sick. These are things most, if not all college students look forward to when coming home.

1. Your family

Your family is the #1 thing about being home. You miss them when you are away at school, but when you get home you know it's going to be a great time.

2. Your home friends

Nothing is better than reuniting with the friends that you haven't seen in months!

3. Your pets

You Probably would think that your pets don't notice you're gone, well just wait until you get home, it's the best feeling in the world. They are just so excited to see you!

4. Going to your favorite restaurant

5. Home cooked meals

Easy Mac and Ramen cannot compare to your mom's home cooked meals.

6. Watching TV with your family

Family time on the couch is always needed after a long day.

7. Your room...but most importantly your bed

Coming home to your nice, big bed is a huge plus. Especially when you go from a twin bed back to your queen sized bed at home.

8. Shower

Sharing a shower with fifty-something people at school can be annoying. Coming home to your own shower never felt any better.

9. Free washing machine

You can put your quarters back in your wallet because when you're home, you don't have to spend all of your money on laundry!

10. Late night snacking is easier

As a college student, having your fridge full at school is hard. But when you come home, it's like the food gods (your mom) read your mind or stomach.

Coming home is definitely worth it, and much needed after a long semester or week of class.
