10 Things College Kids Miss About Home

With halloween now safely under our belt, it seems as though the winter holiday season is fast approaching. As a college student, there is so much to look forward to. Here are the top 10 things that every college kid misses and cant wait to come home to on break.

1. Their own bed

I am way too excited about sleeping in my own bed again. Only 14 days left. Not that I'm counting or anything...

2. Home-cooked food

You can only eat a dining hall so many times before it becomes the most boring thing to ever hit your tastebuds. I have only been here for 3 months and I have a new found appreciation for my mom's food.

3. Quality time with friends from home

This is something I am so excited about, actually being able to hang out with your friends,in person rather than on FaceTime. It will be a little surreal, but i cant wait!!!!

4. not having to wear shower shoes.

I probably will forget and go to put my flip flops on once I am home. Actually being able to go into a shower, with no shoes, and not be scared you will get a weird fungus is a going to be a blessing.

5. Spending time with the fam.

It is the main reason you will be going home, and I don't know about you but I have missed my family more than i thought i would these past few months. Even though I am sure we will start to annoy each other after a few days, it will be good to be all together again.

6. Their room

You don't appreciate it until you are living with another person for the first time. For those of you who had to share a room growing up, I am so sorry.

7. Driving around by yourself

I don't want to EVER want to have to check the bus app again, 99% of the time its wrong anyway. not having to rely on a bus or having to walk 80 miles in a day, will be extremely lit.

8. Visiting your old high school

It's weird but its one of the things i am most looking forward to. I want to go back and walk the halls where I used attend everyday, even though It will probably make me feel like I am old AF.

9. Free laundry


i don't know about any other school.. but laundry is $1.25 for every wash and dry. if you think I am not taking advantage of a free laundry machine in my basement, you're lying to your self.


10. Sleep


Sleeping and eating are a college kid's favorite pastimes. To be able to actually sleep in, in your own bed, it will be a dream.


Even though college has been an amazing experience so far, we are all very excited to finally be able to go home for an extended period of time.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
