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!
