The dog days of winter break are here. Boredom is at an all time high. Thankfully, it is finally coming to an end, and though it has been long and tedious (maybe just me?), there are a few things to miss about home.
1. Not having a dog to eat your crumbs off the floor.
Yea, we love our dogs for lots of reasons, but the vacuum function is definitely at the top of the list. Actually having to clean up food scraps at school: 0/10 wouldn't recommend.
2. Having your very own room.
The solitude of constant silence should never be taken for granted. Pretty much total freedom: stay in a towel for hours after your shower, watch Netflix with no headphones, FaceTime as many people as you want, etc.
3. Having a kitchen attached to your house.
A big downside to the dorm life is the walking-across-campus-to-get-food-life. Especially in the spring semester when the campus is essentially a frozen tundra. The convenience of having a fully stocked fridge (meaning not just beer) in your own home is kind of a godsend (or a mom-send).
4. Having an appropriately-sized shower.
At school, the showers make me feel like that scene in "Elf" when Buddy is too big for everything in the North Pole. Being able to move about comfortably in a shower is a luxury reserved for home.
5. Using candles and string lights.
Of course the most important part about being home, they are cruelly outlawed in your dorm (even though they would totally complete the decor *eye roll*) but 100-percent legal in your own home.
