While college is great and all, there's nothing like going home. These past few weeks have been much needed, so why can't we stay forever?

Here are some things you probably didn't miss about college during winter break.

1. Doing your own laundry

It always comes out better when you do it, Mom...

2. Going to class

I do not miss waking up early. I do not miss hearing lectures. No, thank you. Not for me.

3. Actually having to set an alarm

I prefer walking up naturally instead of having an annoying alarm do it for me. That sound literally gives me PTSD.

4. Late night snacking

It's an addiction. Please help.

5. Having to leave the building for food

When you don't want to get out of bed but you force yourself to because you realize the dining hall has waffles. Halfway there you start to give up and can't decide whether it's worth it or not.

6. The poor quality of food

Definitely didn't miss this. I prefer chicken that's not dry and a side that I can actually identify.

7. The obligation to be social every second of the day

Being home means a room to myself. At school, it means going home to friends who won't shut up when I'm trying to take a nap. Love you guys, though!

8. Having to use your own money

I definitely don't miss using my own money at school. It's called taking advantage of your resources. Thank you, college, for teaching me that.

9. Not having your mom there to cook for you

So I'm thinking expedited shipping from home on a weekly basis when I go back

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
