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!

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.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
