School is finally over, and that means you can finally leave your apartment or dorm that you've gotten so tired of.
Don't get me wrong, being in a dorm or in an apartment with your friends is so fun, but there comes a point where you just want to go home and take advantage of how convenient and comfortable everything is. Say thank you to your mom for doing your laundry all those years, hug your home friends because you didn't realize how much you missed them, and enjoy these next three months.
1. Having a car.
Whether you have your own, borrow your parent's, or share with a sibling, I promise using a car at home is much easier than at school. You can just get where you need to go without worrying about garages filling up or if you have the right permit to park somewhere.
2. Not doing your own laundry.
If you're lucky, your mom still does your laundry for you when she's home. Even if you don't, I bet the walk to your laundry room is much easier than walking down four flights of stairs with an over-filled laundry basket just to find out that all the machines are taken.
3. Sleeping in.
Sleeping in your own bed is the best feeling, and not having to wake up for your 8 am is even better. Even when I do have to wake up early, its just nice to know I don't have to walk 20 minutes to my classroom.
4. So many more food options.
I was getting so tired of the 5 restaurants that I would rotate going to. There are so many more options at home, plus they're familiar and easier to get to.
5. Doing nothing.
At school, when I'm not productive I feel so guilty. Here, I don't mind sitting on the couch, watching TV for 3 hours.
6. Home friends.
There is nothing better than reunited with your high school "squad", knowing that this break isn't just a week long. Before you know it, it is like you guys never left.
7. Family.
It is so nice, most of the timing, being back with your family. Family dinners and movie nights are just as exciting as you remembered.
8. A full kitchen.
I never appreciated a full fridge and groceries like I do now. I do not have to worry about walking my groceries up four flights of stairs to my dorm, just to realize that they barely fit in my mini fridge. I can finally put food into the toaster or the oven instead of microwaving everything.
9. Your pets.
I am finally reunited with my puppy and I have never been happier.
10. A working shower.
You no longer have to live in fear that there is no shower pressure or no hot water. You also do not have to wear shower shoes, or drag your soap in and out of the bathroom.
