Going home for the first time since coming to college felt like a miracle. However, now as we approach summer break, leaving school feels like the worst nightmare. Here is the evolution of leaving school for college breaks during freshman year, as told by The Office:

Fall Break

The beginning of college was a whirlwind of awkward social encounters, unprecedented amounts of schoolwork, and adjusting to living in a college dorm. Going home, taking a real shower, and sleeping in your own bed was VERY much needed.

Thanksgiving Break

By Thanksgiving, you were a little more adjusted to school. However, you were still excited to go home and spend time with your family. Most importantly, Thanksgiving meant that you were going home to eat some of the BEST food.

Winter Break

You just finished your first round of college finals. That was tough. You are excited to come back to school after break and be with all of your new friends, however a break is most definitely needed. If a warm destination is involved, it's a plus.

Spring Break

You are most likely going somewhere warm, on the beach, and with friends. It's BIKINI BODY time.

Summer Break

You don't understand why you are going home in less than a month when it feels like you got to school yesterday. You are now regretting every time you were BEGGING to get off campus and go home. You wish you could reverse all of the flights you switched to earlier times because now you are just delaying your last final flight home for the summer. How are you going to survive a whole summer away from school?
