We all know that the expectation of spring break in college is a trip with your friends where you go to the beach and have a lot of fun. While those trips probably are fun, there are some upsides from sitting the year out on the trip and just going home for spring break. Here are five reasons that going home for spring break is a good idea:
1. You get to have good home-made food.
Getting to have a week away from the food at school is probably one of the best parts about spring break, even if you are going on a trip. But if you do go home, you get the perks of having homemade food, which we all know is better in the long run.
2. You save money.
Obviously being a college student, we don't have a lot of money. Going home means that we save money on travel expenses like gas or an airplane ticket, housing, and eating out all the time.
3. You get to see friends.
If you're lucky enough to have your spring break at the same time as your friends' universities, and they also get home, then you get to see your old friends. Even if that's not the case, chances are you will see at least one friend over break and it's always good to see new friends.
4. You get to indulge in all of your old habits.
Sometimes getting back into an old routine is good for you. Being back home means that you can do all of the nostalgic things you did in high school. So if that means going to your favorite ice creams, then by all means go eat ice cream.
5. You get to see your family.
Probably the best thing about going home for spring break is that you get to spend time with your family. It's nice to leave all of the stressful school work and be able to sit down with your family and enjoy the time together.
