Believe me, there are a LOT of things that I love about being home from college. This list barely touches the surface, but here it is nonetheless:

1. Name brand toilet paper.

Sometimes, you just can't afford name brand toilet paper that month. It's a sacrifice one is willing to make for Chick-fil-a, but it is also a luxury that one can appreciate when at home.

2. SNACKS.

The amount of snacks that my mom keeps in the pantry is incredible and inspiring.

3. Parking.

It is so nice to not have to worry if my car is getting towed or not. It is also nice to not have to park three miles from my room.

4. Laundry.

I enjoy not having to pay $5.00 to wash two loads of laundry.

5. Home-cooked meals.

Microwave mac-n-cheese does not always cut it.

6. Mom.

It is nice having your mom only two feet away as opposed to a phone call away.

7. Sleeping.

How nice it is to sleep through your regular class time.

8. Shopping.

I mean, I am not going to complain if my mom wants to buy me some new clothes.

9. Did I mention sleeping in?

It's worth mentioning again.

10. Family.

Nothing feels better than the whole family being together again.

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

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.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
