5 Things Everybody Looks Forward To When Coming Home For Break

1. Family

Whether or not you get along with your family, at some point while you were away you wanted to say something to your mom or mention an inside joke to your sibling, and they weren’t around. Now you can make all those jokes and roast everyone without feeling bad about it later.


2. Friends

You remember all those old jokes and awkward moments from freshman year? Your high school friends do. That one time at prom? High school friends. Anything you want to talk about that happened before college? High school friends got your back. And they’re all completely on board with spending too much time laughing about the past.


3. Privacy

Between dorm life, roommates, and the community bathroom, sometimes you just wish you could close your door and get a break from everyone. Problem is, people are literally everywhere, and there’s always something going on. There may be things going on at home, but at least you have your own room to retreat to.


4. Comfort

Finally, a place where you can kick back on the bed and put things on the walls without worrying about Housing making you pay for it later. Everyone has seen you at your best and at your worst, so feel free to put on a pair of sweatpants and relax.


5. Food

The cafeteria food is generally pretty good, the staff has a lot of nice people, and it's fun to be able to eat with friends at every meal. But there’s something special about going home and eating your food whenever and wherever you want.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
