We're all excited to go home but I've heard that before you know it you end up wanting to go back to school by the time break is over. As a college freshman, there are several reasons I'm excited to return home and here are a few of them:

Seeing my parents.

Yes, I'm extremely excited to see my parents. I miss my mom and dad an extreme amount. I'm really excited to spend time with them since it's been so long and I wasn't able to see them for very long over Thanksgiving break.

Seeing and petting my pets.

My dogs are the number one thing that I wish could come to college with me. I miss them like crazy and you never realize how much they're your best friends until you're away from them for a long time.

Home cooked meals.

The dining hall gets old, boring, and kind of gross after a while. I can't wait to have a home cooked meal and be able to eat leftovers. My mom's cooking never sounded so good!

Food from places that aren't in the area of my college.

We all have those special places back home that aren't chain or aren't available in the certain towns or states. Here in Idaho, it's hard to find a burrito that compares to one back in California. There's also no In-N-Out here so I'm extremely looking forward to that.

Visiting with extended family.

Due to the holidays there will be plenty of family gatherings and plenty of opportunities to see family members other than immediate ones. There is also a lot of time over this break to go and visit family that might live further away.
