9 Steps To Coming Home For The Weekend
David McBee

If you live close enough to your campus, chances are, you like to go home every now and then. Or maybe you're lucky enough to have parents who generously pick you up after your last class. Whatever the situation, coming home and getting a break from living in dorms is treat.

Step 1: Packing

I'm telling you, you need at to pack at least three outfits per day you will be home, just in case of course.

Step 2: Lugging your stuff out to your car

Because you only want to take one trip, but of course your car is parked on the other side of the lot, this usually involves much struggling and dragging bags.

Step 3: Trying to pick the best time to leave so you won't hit much traffic

You don't have the patience to deal with traffic, just get me home!

Step 4: Of course, no matter what you do, you still end up behind a slow driver

Just drive your car people!!

Step 5: Finally pulling up to your house

Missed it so much..

Step 6: Making your presence known to your family as you walk in the door

Step 7: Getting that home cooked meal you missed so much

Step 8: And finally, getting to sleep in your own bed

Step 9: But then realizing in a day or two, you must head back to school

Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
