11 Things College Students Say And Do When They Come Home

College is undeniably one of the best experiences any person can have, however, sometimes it's nice to get away from the chaos of it all. Some college students go away strictly on long breaks such as winter and fall break, but others, go back for long weekends. The funny part of it all, is all the little things the college students do or say when they're back home.

1. No more shower shoes! No more shower shoes!

Probably the best thing that happens off campus.

2. Wait, there's actual food?

Let's be real, we all appreciate a good home cooked meal.

3. Sleep

Getting more than five hours of sleep on campus is unheard of.

4. Attacking pets with affection

Some cry and some immediately drop to the floor to play with their furry friends.

5. What curfew?

Many of us students go back to our childhood home, and sometimes that comes with rules we are used to not having, including curfew. I have to be back at what time now?

6. Where's my roommate?

Majority of us college students have a roommate on campus, but at home we have our own rooms! But who are we supposed to say weird stuff to at 2 am?

7. Friends

We all freak out and can't wait to see our friends back home, but immediately miss our friends back on campus.

8. Where's the 3 am delivery?

College campus' are surrounded with awesome places that delivery crazy late, or early depending on how you look at it!

9. Driving

Sometimes taking a car to college isn't always easy... so you leave it at home. Your car becomes your new best friend. Goodbye walking and constantly sore legs!

10. Family

As much as they get on our nerves, when it comes down to it, we love and miss them.

11. I miss campus....

Before we know it we want to go back.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
