7 Simple Joys of Coming Home For Break

The things you didn't even know you missed

7 Simple Joys of Coming Home For Break

1. Good Food

Admit it, you missed your mom’s cooking. Not that the campus food is bad, necessarily, but going back home to hot, home-cooked meals is nothing short of divine.

2. Showering Without Shoes On

It’s something you probably didn’t even realize was a luxury until you first experienced it, but showering without shoes after months of squeaking around in soggy flip-flops is sooooo nice. You’ve probably got enough room to shave your legs without doing yoga now, too.

3. The Good Toilet Paper

Because we all know that see-through public restroom stuff just doesn’t cut it.


4. A Room To Yourself

Even if you and your roommate are best friends, it’s still really freeing having a room to yourself again after so many months. There’s just something really special about being able to eat Nutella out of the jar in your underwear watching Netflix at 3am with no judgment.

5. Sleeping In!

Chances are you didn’t even fully realize how tired all those all-nighters and 8ams had you feeling, but now you get to roll out of bed at noon if you want.

6. Full-Sized Beds

For those of you who don’t have twin beds at home, huddling up in dorm beds all semester has probably been uncomfortable. Rolling off your bed or bumping into the wall anytime you try to roll over? Not fun. Going home to a sprawling mattress with enough room to spread out “snow angel” style on your sheets? AMAZING.

7. Being With Your Family

Sure, they may be crazy. You may get on each others’ nerves 24/7. But you’ve gotta admit you missed them. The best part of coming home for break is coming home to family, and all of the chaos that comes with that.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
