Coming Home For The Holidays, As Told By "Friends"

To any college student reading this: congratulations, you finally made it through finals week and you are finally home for the holidays! After a long week full of work, papers, and tests, we are finally home for a nice break. Here is what it is like to come home from college for winter break, as told by the cast of "Friends":

Walking into your house after a full day of traveling from school to home

No matter how much you slept on your way home, you are still exhausted after a long travel day. Boy are you ready for a long break full of sleep, and even more sleep.

Getting at least 10 hours of sleep your first night home

You are a sleep deprived college student who just endured a long semester, your parents should not expect you to sleep any less.

Taking a really long shower and using up all of the hot water in your house


You just spent 4 months sharing a shower with everyone on your floor, you deserve to take a long, hot shower (without shower shoes) to feel clean and refreshed.

Eating real food (that is not from the dining hall)

You missed nothing more than a home cooked meal by your parents, even if your parents' cooking isn't the best. Anything tastes better than dining hall food.

Reuniting with your best friends

Running into old high school friends,


And running into people you wish you could avoid

Catching up on everyone's lives

And learning juicy gossip about your former classmates.

And most importantly, spending time with your family (who you missed so much)


I hope everyone has a good holiday and a good winter break!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
