Spring Break is fantastic. Lots of college students decide to journey south for a little fun in the sun. Others, like me, prefer to go home to spend a little time with the family. This list details the top eleven thoughts that college students have when they go home for break.

1. "I love my bed. I have missed my bed. I never want to leave my bed."

When you have been used to sleeping in a twin bed for the last few months, going back to your bed at home seems to be one of the biggest perks.

2. "Has that always looked like that?"

You drive down a street where a new house has been built and you wonder, has that always been there and I missed it? Or is it brand new?

3. "I don’t have to go to the caf, for a whole week!"

Being able to have home cooked meals every day is a luxury. Remember in high school when you got that every day? Those were good times.

4. "Haha, I’m on break and you’re not!"

Driving past your old high school during school hours is fun, seeing the parking lot full of cars that aren’t yours is an exhilarating feeling.

5. "I will never sleep in a twin bed again."

Too bad you have to do it again in a week...

6. "Why can’t it just be summer already?"

Spring Break is sort of a tease. You get to go home for a week, only to have to go back to school for two more months. Summer, where ya at?

7. "I can do my homework when I get back!"

Because it never fails, professors always seem to give homework, even when you’re going to be on break. Thinking you can do all of it starting at 7:00 on Sunday night before class on Monday probably isn’t going to work out in your favor.

8."I can sleep in!"

Unless you have something pressing to do in the morning, it’s likely you’ll get to sleep in, which is never a bad thing.

9. "I can’t wait to see *insert pet name/sibling name here*"

If I had a cat or a dog, I would probably be really excited to see them. I do have a little sister though, and I’m always excited to see her.

10. "Pshh, Spring Break trips are overrated"

Why spend all of your money that you probably need for tuition anyways when you can have just as much fun in a slightly colder climate?

11. "I don’t want to go back/I can’t wait to go back"

The break from homework is fantastic, and it’s nice to be back where you grew up. In this situation, it’s normally one or the other. Some people wish they had more than a week, others think they are spending too long at home.

All in all, going home for Spring Break instead of going isn’t as bad as it seems. If you’re with the right people, it can be just as much of a vacation as a warm getaway.
