1. Your parents spoil you. One nice thing about going home is your parents being so excited to see you that they basically become you're personal butlers. They cook you all your favorite foods and buy you all the stuff that you “need" before going back. And I mean if they offer, why say no?

2. You get to sleep in your own bed. I don't know about anyone else, but I am semi-obsessed with my bed. You never realize how comfortable it is until you sleep in it after roughing it in the standard dorm room bed. Plus, whenever I go home I spend most of my time in bed catching up on the sleep I never seem get at school.

3. You get some alone time. Yes, of course we love our friends and our sisters and our roommates, but sometimes you just need that alone time to rest and hear your own thoughts.

4. Showering without shoes on…enough said.

5. You get to spend time with the people you love. Yes they cook for you and wait on you hand and foot but most importantly your parents love you and you love (and probably miss) them too. Even though you're having a blast at college there's still always a little part of you that's homesick.

So, if it's possible, plan a weekend and go home. You'll go back to school rested and ready to take on the next week.
