It finally here! Winter break is actually here! Congratulations for surviving finals!

1. The sweet feeling of freedom.

School's out! It's finally time to go home! You get to see your high school friends!

2. Tasting the first bite of real food.

Because the dining hall food just does not compare to mom's home cooking.

3. Seeing the whole family (again).

It's only been a few weeks since Thanksgiving so there isn't much to catch up on, but you still missed them.

4. Seeing your friends again.

It feels like it's been four months too long. It's time for a fun get together to catch up!

5. Having no responsibilities.

End of semester = no work to do over break!

6. The holidays.

Be it Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or New Years, everyone has something to celebrate.

7. Annoyance.

Things have returned to the way they were before you left. That means your little brother is picking fights and all of your friends are too busy to hang out so you're stuck in the house.

8. Missing the roommate.

It's times like these when you miss being trapped in a room with one person.

9. The countdown returns.

You're excited once again, but why? Once you get back school starts again and you are thrown back into reality, but at this point all you want is to go back. This is just one reason why winter break is one of the many mysteries of college students.
