1. To see your holibaes!

Sure, going to college far away from home allows you to meet people who come from different cities, countries, and cultures, and as a grownup the friendships you make will most likely stay with you, but we know you can't wait to see some of the friends you grew up with! You know what we're saying. The ones who have embarrassing photos of you from 7th grade.

2. In situ laundry.

Are you tired of your biweekly visits to your nearest laundromat? Holidays is the season for you.

3. Home cooked meals! (or the food of your country, for us internationals...)

99-cent noodles never hurt anybody, but there is nothing quite like a home cooked meal.

4. DAT Dog.

City life often forces us to leave our animal friends with our families. The holidays is the time for cuddles. You know. Holding your dog tightly to your chest, whispering "I love you," as they struggle to escape from your grip.

5. Quality family time.

Once you actually pass your home's front door it is likely that you'll remember all the reasons why you left in the first place, but the brief period of time when you feel homesick and you hope for quality family time is heaven.

6. You no longer have to pay for things yourself.

When you are with family, financial responsibilities are assigned by age. If you are one of the youngest members of your pack, make it rain!

7. Hibernate freely!

With studying and working time for sleep is limited. So what if you spend 15 days in bed? We all need a break!

8. Hobby time!

Has it been six months since the last time you picked up your brush and painted something? Now you have the time to pick up from what you left.

9. No alarm clocks.

Who cares what times it is? It's not like you have school in the morning. Enjoy.

10. Basically cats!
