Although all of these perks are temporary, they have been denied for too many freshmen at college. So now is the time to splurge and veg out with the fam for this special holiday. Enjoy the week, because it will be back to the dorms before you know it.
1. See the fam/pets
The first and most obvious reason for wanting to return home is, of course, seeing your loved ones. Of course, you give mom and dad a hug. However, sometimes seeing your pet is the best thing, because you have been separated for so long and giving them a kiss on a picture isn't just the same, as the real thing.
2. Your bedÂ
The Twin XL is an adjustment for most college freshman. Sometimes being able to have a little more room at home is a huge thing to look forward to. However, most likely the best thing about sleeping in your own bed is the upgrade in mattress. I bet I will have the best sleep of my life when I get home because I will no longer be sleeping on a thin styrofoam mattress.
3. Your shower
Oh My, having no more shower shoes is definitely a cause for celebration. You can have privacy and you don't have to worry about all the people that are in the bathroom with you or the dirty drain. It is amazing! Also, no long walk down 2 hallways to get to the bathroom, like in most dorms.
4. Home-cooked meal
A meal that does not come from a box or the dining hall is probably the best perk by far! What better home-cooked meal to have than Thanksgiving dinner. I can practically taste the turkey. I can't wait!
