We have already been counting down the days for Winter Break and it's almost here. The few weeks between Thanksgiving and Winter Break seem to be the longest time of the year for us college students. Before we can enjoy the break, we have to go through hours of studying, pulling all-nighters, and finishing up our last few assignments. Winter Break just can’t come soon enough for us. There is no better thought of finally getting to go home, catching up on sleep, and enjoying the holiday season with your friends and family.

Here are 5 reasons college students look forward to Winter Break:

1. Going Home

Some of us didn't realize how much we would miss our home. There are some many things we can't wait to do once we get to go home. We will get to enjoy the pleasures sleeping in our own bed, showering without shower shoes, and, of course, enjoying time with our families

2. Seeing Friends From High School

Thanksgiving break barely gave enough time to catch up with our old high school friends. Winter break gives us a little over a month to do so.

3. No Classes

Stay in bed all day and watch Netflix, or go out and have some fun. Our schedule is empty so we can do whatever we please without having to go to class or work on any assignments.

4. Catching Up On Sleep

Winter break is the time to recharge ourselves, distress, and get ready to tackle the second semester. Catching up on sleep is the best way to do so. We have to make up for all of those all-nighters!

5. The Holidays

We are never to young to get excited about the holidays! It is, of course, one of the best seasons of the year.
