Ahh, yes. It's finally that time of year again.

The time of year when all us college students have returned to our homes and are more than ready to begin our break.

Now that the fall semester is long gone, we're happy to enjoy all the things that make home, home.

Here are some things that I'm always happy to enjoy at home:

Your dogs.

Because furry friends are the best and are always dearly missed.

Your bed.

There's nothing quite like climbing into your own bed and getting the best sleep you've had in months.

Your hometown.

Sure, there will always be certain people you try to avoid when you're home, but you'll always love the place you grew up in, because so many countless memories have been created there.

Your friends.

The list of people you still talk to from high school has certainly diminished as the years have gone by, but you're so happy to see those people from that list again.

Your lifestyle.

No matter where home is for you, there's no doubt that the way you live at home is completely different than how you live at college. It's nice to get back to your old lifestyle.

Your family.

By far, this is the best part of coming back home. Your family will always be there for you, and it's so great to see them again.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
