Although being at school gives us a taste of freedom, there are so many reasons that coming home can be the best. No matter how annoying family can get, and how living at school gives us a different sense of happiness, coming home can really be great.

1. Being in your own bed is the greatest feeling, especially if your bed is larger than a Twin/Twin XL. Most people never really appreciate how comfortable their bed is, until they have to sleep on a mattress that is who knows how old.

2. Pets. Family is great, but unless you have a super talented, YouTube star animal living in your house, pets generally don't argue. Being away from something that looks at you like you're the world's best person is one of the greatest feelings. In most cases, while at school, you might get excited every time you see a dog or a cat, so coming home to your own pet makes everything so much better.

3. Family is next. Yeah, the order of this list could probably be debated, but they can always text or call you, verse your pets or your bed. Family is a great thing. They care about you, and want you to be happy, and they should accept you for who you are which is always reassuring.

4. Food, food, and more food. No matter what school you go to, the food isn't always what they boast it to be. Dorm/cafeteria food gets extremely old, extremely fast, and being home and having food cooked especially for you is so much better. Also, at home there are generally more options, whether it's food you're going to be making, or restaurants, home is where the good food is.

5. Friends. College generally causes a lot of separation, and friendships fade, but those you stay close with are some of the best people to come home to. There are always so many great stories, so many adventures to go on, and more memories to bring back to school.

College is great, and honestly, when I'm home, I find myself itching to go back to school, but I know I'll always have people behind me supoorting me at home and school which is what makes both great.
