Winter break is a great time to spend relaxing and seeing the family, but you miss being at school and seeing all your friends. The last week home is a bitter sweet time where you are getting ready to go back to school but have to say goodbye to all that winter break has blessed you with.
1. Packing. The most dreaded part of leaving is always having to somehow squeeze everything into your bag. You always have more than you came with and have to figure out how to create extra space for it all.
2. Eating. Before going back to the dreaded dining commons you need to go to your favorite sushi restaurant and have a few more of Mom's homemade meals.
3. Laundry. We all know that we won't be doing our own at school, until we have nothing else to wear so we might as well ask for Mom to do one more load before departing.
4. Catch up on Netflix. This way you will be caught up for your next Netflix and chill date at school.
5. Snuggle your dog. Since this will obviously be your hardest goodbye, spend as much time possible smothering your pup with love.
6. See your old friends. Even though we all made new friends away at college it is always fun to reunite with your old friends.
7. Sleeping. The final week that you can actually sleep for however long and marinate in bed without having class or anything that will give you a good enough reason to move all day.
8. Traveling. Most people go somewhere for the holidays, but this is the last time you can road trip with friends or alone to places nearby. You can go to the nearest city or even a winter time trip to the shore.
9. Free nice alcohol. Drink up. It is the last week you can mooch off of your parents and get all that left over wine off of their hands from the holidays. Once you are back at school you'll realize you don't have the money to drink anything but the cheap stuff.
10. Seeing your friends in a week! By the end of this week you'll be sad to go due to the fact that you have to leave home and all these wonderful things. But then, it hits you- school is right around the corner and you are more than ready to head back to college.
