We all look forward to the end of the first semester because of Christmas break. It's one of the only reason why we push through finals week. Although some of us have a long ways to travel, I think we can all agree that Christmas break is the best time of the year besides summer break. Here is a list of the greatest things about Christmas break to get you feeling extra cozy back at home.

1. Home-cooked food.

Coming home to real food is hands down one of the best feelings ever. Living off of microwaveable mac n' cheese gets old REALLY fast.

2. Sleeping in.

Getting all cozy in a blanket burrito at 1 in the afternoon never felt so good. It's break time.. so just keep on snoozin'. It's cold outside and there's no reason to go out there... so don't.

3. Family/friend time.

Going off to college consists of saying goodbye to your friends and family.. temporarily at least. Break gives you some time to catch up with your friends because they come back for the holidays too.. and family get togethers are a usual around this time as well.

4. Not having to adult for a while.

Now that the semester is over with, you don't have any homework to worry about. No deadlines.. no worries. Just kick back and drink that eggnog that you actually secretly hate.

5. Christmas movies.

Do I even have to say anything else about this? Christmas movies are absolutely the best part about Christmas break. Getting the family together after dinner and watching Christmas Vacation is never a bad time. Never pass it up.
