8 Luxuries Of Coming Home For College Breaks
Stylez Now

Going home for college breaks seems like a fairy tale— you have your bed, your favorite restaurants, and the love and care of your parents. When you come home from college, you will definitely experience these incredible and indescribable feelings.

1. When you take your last final exam

There is no better feeling than when you drop your pencil on your last exam and know you will be home in just a few short hours.

2. When the long ride is almost over and you start recognizing the area you're in

You get those happy butterflies in your stomach when you pass by your favorite stores and friends houses, anxiously waiting to pull into your driveway!

3. When you have your own room again

You have the freedom to walk around naked and dance like nobody is watching without the fear of someone seeing.

4. You don't have to wear shower shoes

You can actually get in the shower without the fear of rubbing up against the gross wall or accidentally touching a toe to the infested floor.

5. You convince your mom to drive you everywhere

You know how to drive and you might even have a car. But there is something so special about having your mom drive you around again just like when you were a kid.

6. Your dad is HYPE to cook for you.

He is so excited to have you back that he will literally make anything you ask for. Even if he destroys the kitchen in the process of it...

7. You can sleep in your own bed

There is no feeling like when you get into your own bed and you immediately sink into the best sleep you have gotten in months.

8. You get to bond with your family

You get to spend time with those who matter most, and since you spent so much time apart you can truly appreciate what family means.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

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?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

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.
