Well, it's finals week. The week of hell that nobody in college ever looks forward to. And you know what? I can't wait for it to be over. Because I cannot WAIT to get home! A month with my family - what could be better? Not much!

Here's why I am so excited!

1. I get to see my parents and my brother

I know that I basically saw them all about two weeks ago, but I am ready to see my family. After a stressful week, a hug from mom, dad, even my brother, would be very welcome right now. They are my support system, and I can't wait to be back with them again!

2. Extended Family!

Instead of driving home right away, I am going to visit my grandmother and help wrap her Christmas presents before going home. I also get to go up to Maine and celebrate Christmas with my dad's family, which is super exciting. I get to see family that I haven't seen in a while, and that always warms my heart after a stressful end to the semester.

3. Food, glorious food!

I get to each actual human food made by me or my dad or my mom or any other family! I am so ridiculously excited for real food, not school food, that I know this is one of the main reasons I love going home!

4. Absolutely no homework!

This is the month where I don't have to worry about doing ANYTHING! No school work, no assigned reading, no notes, no presentation or project to work on. I love the freedom of doing absolutely nothing!

Winter break is almost upon us! You can get tuhrogh this week, then enjoy a month away from school! See you next semester!
