As the school year comes to a close, every college student is exhausted from each event and final that the year had to offer. Although attending college is the greatest experience in the world, there comes a point you're thoroughly exhausted. Even if it's just for a short three months, going home for summer has its many perks when you're a college student!
1. Having access to your own washer and dryer.
Laundry is a much simpler task at home. Instead of collecting quarters and making trips to the laundry room, you finally get to use your own washing machine. If you're lucky, your parents might even do it for you!
2. Getting to drive your car.
Even if you're used to walking everywhere by now, having your own car is the absolute best. You no longer have to rely on rides or ask people to borrow their cars.
3. Not having to buy your own groceries.
Grocery shopping is one of the biggest hassles in college. Your fridge is most likely empty the majority of the time because you're either too lazy to get groceries or just don't feel like spending the money. When you're at home, it becomes your parents' job to stock the kitchen.
4. Sleeping in a bigger bed.
Nothing beats coming home to a large bed when you're used to sleeping in a twin xl. For a few short months, you get to sleep diagonally again!
5. Home made meals.
Instead of making runs to the closest fast food place or cafeteria on campus, you get to enjoy freshly cooked meals. When at home, you get access to all the fruits and vegetables you've gone without for so long.
6. You get your health back.
It is very difficult to maintain good health in college. You get sick multiple times and it is hard to fit exercising into your schedule. Once you're at home, it is much easier to get back into a healthy routine again.
7. Having your own space.
Although having a roommate can be fun, it is nice to be back in your own room. You can finally go without interruptions and enjoy your own privacy.
8. More time to relax .
College is very hectic, something is always going on. During summer, you can pick and choose when you want to be productive.
9. Getting to use your own bathroom.![]()
You no longer have to wait for someone else to be done going to the bathroom or showering. Instead, you can take as much time in the bathroom as you want with much more privacy.

Now that you have your own car there is no need to pay for Ubers. You don't realize how much money you spend on Uber until you take a break from it.
11. Catching up with old friends.
Being reunited with old friends is bittersweet. It's always fun catching up on everyone's college experience and reminiscing about the past.
12. You get to see your pets.
There are few things you miss more than your pets back home. Nothing beats the excitement you see on your pets face when you return.
13. Saving money is much easier.
