10 Reasons Why College Kids Love Going Home For The Holiday

After a week of no sleep, delivery Panera, stress Pizza and infinite Red Bull, finals are finally over. We pack up every item of clothing we have ever owned, pack up our cars and take to the open road to get home to our families. Although the fun of school and our friends will be missed, everyone has to admit that they are secretly very relieved/excited to finally go home for Christmas Break. Here are a few of the reasons going home for break is so great.

1. Mom's cooking

Finally, no more dining hall food or scraping together leftovers from the fridge. Bonus points if she brings you food in bed because, "You are just so exhausted from all of your studying!"

2. All of the foods you have been craving that you can only get at home

Hello Portillos!

3. No. More. Homework.

'Nuf said.

4. Mom does your laundry for you.

No more rewearing clothes for weeks because you have no money left to pay for the machine and you're just plain too lazy to do laundry.

5. Wifi that actually works

6. Your own shower


Finally, a shower where the water temperature is just right and every inch of your body can be covered in water at once.

7. Your big comfy bed

And no alarm to wake you up for your 8 a.m.

8. Cuddling with your dog


Honestly, the biggest reason we all want to go home.

9. Seeing friends from home that you haven't seen in months

10. Your parents paying for things

Cause your bank account needs a break!
