The holiday season is an emotionally exhausting, confusing yet good time for college students. It marks the end of first semester's toil and the chance to enjoy the comforts of home. However, for some it means a whole month away from the campus and people that you've grown to love.

Now, come the family gatherings and you relish in the adoration of relatives who haven't seen you since summer and have heard tales of your college successes and adventures.
