1. Home cooked meals
Three months of no dining hall food: my taste buds can hardly believe it.
2. Unlimited mom hugs
The ones you always wanted when you got your grade back after a bad midterm. Gotta make up for lost time.
3. Weather I can deal with
I just want some weather that I'm used to.
4. Friends!!!
Time to catch up on every crazy thing that's happened to you in the last nine months. It'll take you the full summer to get every story.
5. My bed
The comfort of a good mattress and not just a mattress topper.
6. Pets
I can finally cuddle my cat and secretly let my dogs sleep on my bed again.
7. Sleeping in
Lord knows I can't do this at school. I will make it my goal to get back all of the hours I missed out on.
8. My car
I mean yeah I'm tired from not sleeping, but I'm also tired of having to find a ride all the time. My beautiful car has been sitting in the driveway all this time and I cannot wait to be back behind the driver's wheel.
9. Cable
No more waiting for things to come out online or on Netflix. I can finally watch my tv shows when the rest of the world does and not have to avoid spoilers on social media.
10. Local restaurants
The worst part about leaving home is losing my "loyal customer" status to my favorite food places. I have every intention of achieving this level once again.
11. Reuniting with my family
Siblings and parents and whatever else you have or don't have. It's nice when everyone is back together and can be weird together once again.
