Winter break is over and sadly it is time to go back to reality. It’s time for second semester to start. Most college students anxiously await the month long winter break, but after a while at home we start to miss our life at college. Once we are officially back at school, we start to miss the many comforts of being at home. We love our university, but there are certain things we can't help but miss.
1. Dogs
Being away from the fur-babies at home can be very rough. After having a month at home where you spent more time with your dogs than anyone else makes it hard to separate from them again.
2. Home-cooked Food
At home you probably eat a lot better then you do at school. You get actual home-cooked meals and you don’t have to order pizza at midnight.
3. Family
It’s never easy to say goodbye to the people you love. It’s always great to spend time with them during breaks, but then you miss them a lot when it’s time to go back.
4. Friends
You have best friends at college, but you also probably have your best friends from home. They have probably known you for a long time, so it’s always great to spend time catching up and making new memories together. You talk on the phone at school, but talking in person is so much better.
5. Your Own Bed
There is nothing quite like the feeling of coming home and sleeping in your own bed. It’s weird not having a roommate, but you feel cozy in your bed at home.
6. Fast Wifi
If you live in the dorms at school then you know the pain of slow internet when you just want to watch Netflix. When you are at home you can actually watch a whole episode without buffering.
7. Private Bathroom
Most college kids have a roommate and they probably have to share a bathroom. The nice thing about being home is that you have your own bathroom so you can take as long of a shower as you want.
8. Parking
The struggle of parking on campus is very real. Sometimes it takes longer to find a parking spot then it does to actually go somewhere. When you are at home you don’t have to worry about the struggle of parking.
9. No Stress
A new semester starts and a fresh wave of stress is coming. Once the stress really sets in, you miss the peacefulness of the break when you didn’t have anything to stress about.
10. Sleeping In
Goodbye sleeping in, and hello 8 am class. School is back in session, so honestly goodbye to sleep in general. Who sleeps in college anyway?
11. Home
When you are away at your university, you just miss home in general. You love your college town, but you just have that comfortable feeling when you back home where you grew up.
