8 Things To Do When Home For Break

Being at away at college is obviously a blast, but all college students cannot wait for breaks. Going home for breaks is the best because being away at college you are surrounded by completely different people and you are not in the town you have grown to know all your life. I know everyone has a bunch of different things in mind they want to do when they go home for breaks, here are just a few ideas.


1. See your family and friends.

Nothing is better then going home for breaks and seeing the people you have been missing dearly while at school.

2. Go to your favorite eateries.

Yes, college food can get seriously sickening after a few months of eating it for every single meal. It is nice to go home and eat real food.

3. Drive around your town.

Drive around and reminisce about all the old places you used to go and the amazing memories you made there.

4. Listen to your old favorite songs.

Listening to your old favorite jams brings back so many memories.

5. Say hi to old friends.

If you see a couple of old friends from high school you do not really speak to anymore, say hello anyway. Do not hold grudges from high school, they could be completely different now than they were.

6. Go back to your high school.

I know high school was a dark time for a lot of us and we are happy to be finished with it, but sometimes going back to your high school is nice. You can see old teachers, places you used to spend your time in at school and maybe see some friends that have not graduated yet.

7. Lay in your bed.

One of the things I personally miss the most about being away at school is my bed. Lay in your comfy, soft bed and think about finally laying on something that does not feel like cardboard.

8. Make the most of your time.

I know we all just want to sit around and watch Netflix all day when we are home for breaks. Instead, you should spend your time reminiscing, doing things and spending time with people you love and miss.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
