The 3 Best Things About Coming Home From College

Everyone loves college. It's college. There are movies, television series, books, magazine articles and more, all centered around how great it is. Adults are constantly reminding us that it's the best time of our lives. However, no matter how much you do or don't love your school, sometimes it's nice to be back home where it all began. So if you're sad about leaving your friends to return home for spring break or just need a little reminder of why you should venture home every once in awhile, here are 3 great things about going home from college:

The Food.

Oh gosh, home cooked meals. Who doesn't love a home cooked meal? All college students know the pain of dining hall food. The food is good. It's ok. But it's just never quite as good as your favorite home cooked meal from your mom or dad. Aside from the home cooked meals, nothing is better than getting out of your college and getting to visit your favorite local restaurants and grocery stores that you've been missing while away at college.

The Sleep.

You've been missing your bed so much, and this is finally your time to reunite. No matter how cozy you've made your dorm room or your new apartment bed, nothing compares to the feeling of your bed at home. There are no classes to get to at 8 a.m. and you're completely free of schedules. You're finally free to sleep the day away or just catch up on Netflix in bed, at least until your mom makes you enter the real world.

The Family.

Last, but of course not least, family. You miss them. Regardless of their nagging questions about your relationship status or how your classes are going, being able to sit and just spend time with your family and to tell them about what's going on in your life is a great break from all of the craziness of school. They always care what's going on and are there to listen to all of the good and the bad that's going on in your life.

So never forget, there's no place like home.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
