"I can't wait to go back to school."

"Ugh, I hate being home."

"I just want break to be over already!"

These are statements I have heard echoed time and time again, both on the internet and face to face.

However, I personally do not share this sentiment.

Don't get me wrong, I really like college. Despite this, I enjoy the time I spend at home even more.

I've never hated my hometown. I love getting to see my family and friends. It's great to finally get a break - one without any school work to dictate my availability.

These are only a few reasons why I cherish being home.

This doesn't mean I don't like school, it just means I'm just as happy taking a break. We all have to take breaks sometimes, even from the things we enjoy.

I love sleeping in my own bed. Being able to cook whenever I want. Having a car. Sleeping until noon. Spending time with my family.

And quite frankly, the joy of these things greatly overshadows all the joy I feel at school.

When I'm at school, I never get homesick. Yet, as soon as I'm home I realize just how much I missed it.

And I really am in no rush to go back.
