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

4. Going to your favorite restaurant

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.

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.
