Many college students love actually being at school, including myself. Sometimes, however, we really just look forward to going home. I attend college so far away from home, so I only get to come home for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring Break. I love the people that I’ve met in college -- especially my sorority sisters -- but there is no better feeling than being home for the holidays. Here are some of the (mostly) pleasurable situations we college students face when we make our way home for a holiday break:

1. Food that we will never be able to recreate.

2. The most comfortable bed we’ve been missing/dreaming about.

3. Interrogations from the family.

4. Sleeping in your bed all day and finally getting up for dinner.

5. Holiday pictures with Santa hats.

6. Taste-testing all of the food to make sure it is edible.

7. Mentally blocking out all of your school-related responsibilities.

8. Binge-watching Christmas movies because there is no other way to get into the holiday spirit.

9. Spending quality time with your family.

As much as we love being at school and spending time with our friends, we love being home and spending the holidays with family. I couldn't imagine being anywhere else. There is nothing like mom's cooking, family bonding or those incessant questions from your relatives.
