As winter break comes to a close, everyone is so excited to go back to college. We will be able to see our friends and get back into the swing of things, but there are a lot of things that college students are not looking forward to going back to...

1. Home Cooked Food

There is absolutely nothing better than your parents home cooked food. Whether it's a good steak or real fruit and vegetables. Dining hall food really stinks and no one wants to go back to eating it daily.


2. Your Own Bed


Your bed at home is the comfiest thing and you can always fall asleep so quickly in it. Also going from a little twin bed to a bigger and more comfortable bed at home makes going home so much better. RIP to sleeping soundly.

3. Family

Going home and hanging out with your family after not seeing them for so long makes your heart so happy. Seeing your parents, siblings, cousins, aunts/uncles, and grandparents make you realize how much you miss them when you're away at college.


4. Friends From Home

Seeing your friends from home brings back so many memories from high school and growing up. There is nothing better than catching up with your friends about all the crazy college memories you have made throughout the semester. And spending a few weeks with them at home makes it even easier to miss them when you're gone.

5. No Class and Homework

Although college is designed to give us all an education, but classes and homework can get really annoying. So going home is just that much sweeter without work to do. Take advantage of all the time you can spend on the couch eating as many snacks as possible.

6. TV

At college we can only watch TV or Netflix on our tiny little TVs or laptops, so going home is very nice being able to watch your show on a big TV. Also having DVR at home means being able to watch your favorite shows whenever you want to.

7. Your Own Shower

No shower shoes!!!! College bathrooms are not the cleanest or the nicest and having to shower with shoes on is a huge pain. Therefore, coming home makes you realize how much you miss your own bathroom.

8. Pets

College makes you really miss your pets. There is nothing better than cuddling with your dog or cat.

9. Driving

Being able to drive anywhere at anytime is so nice. Being at college for so long makes you miss driving. When you're home you can take advantage of every late night ice cream run. You'll actually want to do all of the little errands that your mom or dad needs you to do.

10. Privacy

Living with a roommate makes you really miss having your own room. So going home lets enjoy of all the quiet time you can get.

There is really no place like home.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time. I'm not complaining, because I'd rather have a whole week off than three days, but there is a lot of down time. Here are some ideas as to what you can do to get the most out of your Thanksgiving break.
