Waiting for winter break can be painstaking and often seems like it will never arrive. Finals are ending, we're packing our bags, and saying goodbye to another semester. Here are 7 things you can expect while you're back home for a few weeks.
1. Get home and see all your hometown friends.
“It’s been a while!” they’ll say, even though you technically saw most of them a few ago during Thanksgiving weekend. Still, you’ll have fun catching up and how much you all cried during finals week.
2. See your family.
Your parents missed you, and you missed them too. And being under the same supervision you had as a teenager will almost be worth it.
3. Eat real food.
Campus food has probably almost killed you by this point, so at least you’ll have home cooked meals again. And you’ll be able to go back to all the restaurants in your town that you KNOW are better than the restaurants at college that are basically the same.
4. Open those presents.
Whether its Christmas or Hanukah or another holiday, you’ll be getting gifts. This is the one time you’ll be glad to still basically be considered a child, since all this free stuff is coming your way.
5. Catch up on that Netflix.
You haven’t had as much time as you wanted to binge all the shows you were looking into. Now is the time to see if This Is Us or The Crown are as good as the critics say it is. Or maybe its time to watch all 6 seasons of Game of Thrones that you keep promising people you’ll do one day.
6. Get some work done?
Maybe do a passion project? You have so much time now, there must be something you should be doing. Maybe you should be applying for the summer internship applications that all were just released? Or you could watch Stranger Things for the 5th time.
7. Head back to college!
Two weeks into break, you’ll be begging to go back to the college lifestyle you’ve been missing all this time. Being home is fun, but college calls. Get ready for another semester.
