There are so many things that you look forward to after Midterm or Finals Week, or even just after a long week. I know for me, living so far away from college I don't get to go home like a lot of people do, but when I do get to go home, it's the best thing in the world and here are five reasons why going home is the best feeling in the world.

1. You get to sleep in your own bed

Thank goodness you get your own comfy bed again, even if it is for only a few days.

2. Seeing your dog

You gotta admit, seeing your dog is probably one of the main reasons you are excited for going home.

3. Your mother's cooking

Yes, dining food isn't that bad, but you know you're home when you are the first one at the dinner table every night because you're excited to eat your Mom's food.

4. Speaking of Mom, seeing your parents again

I am very close to my family, so whenever I see them again I cry every time.

5. Seeing your friends and going to your old hangout spots

We call the local Starbucks the "Group Starbs" and I look forward to that the most because I have missed all the gossip and drama so I get caught up on everything.

So in conclusion, yes you miss college when you are home, but you never want to leave home when you get home. You just have to take the time you have it and enjoy it. Because for me, I won't see home for quite awhile.
