Your Bed
I don't care how many Tempurpedic mattress toppers you buy, that twin extra long in your dorm room will just never live up to the luxurious mattress that awaits you at home.
Your Room
Don't get me wrong here, I love my roomie (hey Mads!) , but sometimes it's nice to be able to have a room to yourself that's bigger than the size of a closet. And being able to click next onto that 7th episode of Friends you've watched today without being judged, well that's nice, too.
Home-cooked Meals
As much as I'm sure we all LOVE the Pit, I don't think I'm just speaking for myself when I say it's a nice change to be getting a meal prepared by someone you actually know and maybe might even trust. And if for some reason I find myself with a queasy stomach afterwards, at least I know who to blame.
Home Friends
College friends have most likely seen you at your best and your worst, but they didn't have the lucky privilege of watching you take on your awkward stage (or stages) that your home friends did. Despite all of the dirty little secrets that these home friends know about you, they have still decided to stick around. And every time you're together, no matter whether it has been a few months or maybe even a year, it seems like it couldn't have been more than just a few days.
Maybe I'm on my own in saying that I do really miss my family when I'm at school. Yes, even all three of those annoying little brothers. But then again, not everyone is as lucky as I am to have a family whose favorite pastimes include beer pong, flip cup and Cards Against Humanity.
No Need for that Beach Bod
Though trekking my way back to D.C. for the break meant that snow would be in my future, it also meant that those bathing suits in the back of my closet can stay untouched for at least another couple of months. Fine. With. Me.
No Sunburn
While all of your friends are sending you snapchats of their sun-poisoned bodies, you get to sit and relax on the couch without a worry in the world.
Saving Money
And just think about all of the money you're saving while your friends are out buying bottomless mimosas and vodka cranberries in PCB! Or maybe don't think about that ... yeah, on second thought, just think about the money.
