Everything you go through when you go home for the holidays.
1. Happy reunions
The moment you're reunited with your family and close friends is pure happiness. It's been months! You've missed them so much, it's great to catch up. You're so excited to spend the long break with them and do all the fun activities you've planned.
2. Going back to your old job
Yes, this is an actual picture of me at work... in July.... the prime of summer. Fortunately, I've only had to dress up once in the costume, I'm usually just a cashier in the store. I'm actually extremely grateful that my manager agreed to give me hours over the break because as a college student, I'm very broke. Many college kids try to work over break because of all the free time on our hands.
3. Boredom
It's common to go home thinking you're going to do so many fun things over break, and maybe you do them all! Even if this is the case, you are likely to be bored at some point over the break. A lot of time is just spent lounging around the house and catching up on sleep.
4. Missing college and your college friends
Being away from your college friends for a whole month is a long time! It's hard to not start to miss them. Sure, it's nice to be home at first, but there's a point in the break where you just can't wait to go back to college and see all your friends again.
5. Getting annoyed by your family
Ya family time is great, but there is such a thing as TOO much family time. The holidays are a crazy time for everyone, and some people get so stressed. If you don't start to get annoyed by some family members after some time, are you even family?? Being back in your house with all of your family being home is a huge adjustment from the dorm life. It's normal to get annoyed by your family.
The holidays are a fun, exciting, hectic time. It's great to have a break from school but before you know it, you'll be wishing you were back.
