Being home is great because you are able to wake up whenever you want to without having to worry about going to class or practice. It is a time where you are able to relax and spend time catching up with friends and family. However, there are many things that you will miss when you come back to school.
1. Being able to sleep in
Being able to sleep in is so great because if you stay out late the night before there is no need to worry about having to get up at a certain time. It is also a time where a lot of people catch up on all the sleep they are deprived of because of all the nights staying up late and studying.
2. Seeing your childhood friends every day
Yes, in college you spend almost every waking hour with your friends; however, for break it is different. You are reunited with close friends and are able to catch up. Also, you are able to go on adventures and do what you always do with your friends whether that is spending a day at the mall shopping or staying up late watching Netflix.
3. Home-cooked meals
No shocker here but home-cooked meals are something that I miss a lot after a break. The food at college is average, however, nothing will ever beat my mother and father's homemade meal.
4. Being able to drive around
I know that you are allowed to have your car on campus as a freshman; however, most don't due to expenses. However, at home when you have your car you are able to drive here and there whenever you want.
5. Your own bed
There is no better feeling than hopping in your bed after a long day. However, it is even better when it is your bed at home is the one that you have had for years.
6. Family and friends
Being home is great because you are able to spend a whole bunch of time with family and friends. Break is a time to catch up with everyone.
7. Your dog/cat
Sorry but the reality is there is no animal to greet you when you have arrived home after a long day when you're at school.
8. Netflix
There is nothing better than sitting in bed all day watching a show or a bunch of movies on Netflix and not feeling guilty about it.
9. Your own personal space
Being home means you get your own room and don't have to share a room with someone. You get your own personal space.
10. The best places to eat
There is nothing worse than craving some good food from a place back home. Nothing like always going to Applebee's for half off apps or your favorite ice cream place.
