The Pros And Cons Of Being Home

There are plenty of pros and cons to being home on break, from the ability to loaf nonstop to the inevitable boredom that comes along with constant relaxation. All the problems one faces at school seem to dissipate, but one of the few downsides of being home includes the total focus on personal issues. It's easy to ignore problems while at school, due to the many distractions like schoolwork and partying, but at home, these issues come into full focus. The upside to this, however, is that you get to handle these problems in the peace of your home. You can wear fugly pajamas and sit in your own hair grease and contemplate life in total comfort, without having to worry about whatever huge assignment or obligation you have. Home is a great place to sort things out, since there isn't really anything better to do, and it's even better to have the support of your family while doing so. While home is an ideal place to think about all the beautiful changes, it's also a great reminder that school is wonderful and waiting for an exuberant return, and that the end of break is a new beginning to happier and clearer days.
