The much needed break is finally here, and we could not be more grateful. This time in the semester is when a break is much needed for us college students, and we all have similar things that we all know that we do when we are back at home.
1. TONS and TONS of Laundry
We all know that doing laundry alone at school is the biggest pain that we all try to avoid more than our homework. Plus it costs a million and one quarters just to get it all done, so why not wait until you come home and can do it for free? You will finally be able to wash the sweat pants you have re-worn one too many times, and you will get to go back to school with a stash of clean clothes, until winter break that is.
2. Prepare yourself for the millions of questions relatives will ask on Thanksgiving
Relatives on holidays absolutely love digging into the lives of the returned home college kids. Although there is nothing wrong with curiosity, we all know we must prepare to have answers to any possible question that we are asked, especially the "Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend yet" card. We prepare all week like a celebrity ready for an interview just so we can be able to answer any question that comes our way.
3. Eat all of your parents food
Lets face it, the best part about going home for break is getting to eat your moms home cooking and snacks they have around the house. A college kid's diet consists of a lot of fast, easy, and cheap food, and getting to come home and eat their mom's cooking is like a party in our mouths. And since we don't get to eat good food like this often, we chow down way more than usual, eating our parents out of everything they bought for the week.
4. Hibernate
Getting enough sleep while at school is something that just does not happen. Being able to come home and not have any classes or work to get up for is a blessing in itself. Over break, sleep is the #1 priority in our books. If we do not come out of our rooms until one pm, it is genuinely because were catching up on all the sleep we should have gotten on those Friday and Saturday nights.
5. Reunite with your old buds
Nothing is better than coming home for break knowing that you get to see your high school friends. Although everyone is away at school doing their thing, coming back together is pure happiness. Getting to talk about all the crazy things you have done at school, plus creating more memories along the way as you all enjoy your precious time together
So college students, enjoy your break, and most of all, enjoy doing these 6 things, I know I will!
