Even with how nice winter break is, it is nice to be back at school. Being home with your family, and not having to worry about class is great but there is a couple reasons why everyone is glad to be back...

1. Your roommate/suitemates

Usually you and your roommate become friends or even best friends, which makes living together tons of fun. When you go home you don't have that person that you can roll over in bed and stare across the room knowing that they're awake and ready to talk about anything and everything.

2. Walking to class

Even though walking to class in the winter sucks because it is so cold, it's nice walking to class and passing so many people you know and being able to catch up. Campus also looks super pretty when there is snow everywhere.

3. Friends

In college you make friends from all over, I know myself personally, I have made friends with people out of state and over winter break it is hard to see them. Coming back to school makes it nice to catch up with them and learn about what they did all winter break.

4. New Classes

My favorite part about coming back is getting to take new classes. Everyone gets bored eventually with the classes they are in, so it is nice to be able to change it up and take different topics.

5. Dogs

Otterbein allows so many students to train service dogs, or even have an emotional support dog. It is fun walking around campus and seeing how many dogs there are now, and seeing everyone's face light up when they see them.
