Every college kid love coming home for the holidays, but why? I mean of course the homemade food and laundry being done without lifting a finger is a perk, but spending time with family and friends after being away from them for a long period of time and not being stressed to the max with school and work is a massive relief. Being home from college, the best part is probably how much sleep you get. Aside from that, here are some other great things that come with being home for the holidays:
1. Reuniting with your high school friends is priceless.

Especially the night before Thanksgiving or Christmas when everyone is in town from different colleges, reuniting with them is the best feeling ever. Seeing people you haven't seen for months, maybe even years, means nothing but a good time.
2. Being home means everyone is ready to party!

If you come from a big group of friends like me, that means you get more than one Thanksgiving meal! House hopping to say hi to all of your friends also means a plate of food with every hello... not complaining!
4. Family time is the best time

Even if you do come home from college a lot, it's not very often you get to see all of your family under the same roof... at least not for me. Coming from a big family means it's very hard to all get together at the same time so when you do, it's a great thing.
5. Mashed Potatoes
