What's better than going home? Especially seeing family members you may not have seen in months, friends from high school you're still close with, and seeing pets and what not. But for college students near and far, there's quite a lot of pros and cons with going back home.
1. You reunite with your annoying siblings, nagging parents, and family members you see on holidays, and realize you missed it all.
2. It's usually over the holidays, which means posed cards and pictures.
3. You get to see your friends that haven't seen you in ages.
4. But you have so many different people that every one wants to see. And the friends you barely ever spent time with, ask you when you're home non stop.
5. You might possibly get your car back once you get home, and the freedom is reborn driving around the hometown with your college girl friends.
6. But the semester away from your wheels made you ignorant to the price of fuel it takes to get your freedom going.
7. You get to be in your own bed, with you own kitchen, and your own mom to grocery shop for you with a full fridge.
8. You somewhat miss the leisure of having your fridge and kitchen table right next to your bedside, within reach without even touching the lava floor. The fridge is so far from your bed now.
9. You're home for a decent while, with no stress, exams, labs, essays, or homework.
10. But then, you realize when plans come about, you have no job for the month, no money, and no gas. So, while everyone else is out doing activities,
11. After some weeks, you miss being a distance away with your own responsibilities. (or no responsibilities)
12. But there's almost too much free time at some points... and you start turning things down as good as FREE FOOD like: (cause you're eight episodes into cake wars and your life depends on being right about who wins)
But still with all these anti-responsibilities, money loss, bankruptcy, friends wanting to hang out each day, laziness, and adjustments, going home is always worth it in the end and a nice refresher from the school year. (until of course we reach spring break and its the best of both worlds.
