Coming home from college is the icing on the cake of not having class for a week. I can honestly say being home for the last week has been such a great time to catch with family (and sleep) as well as just relax. Here are some of the things I didn't realize I missed so much until I was home.

1) Family

I knew moving to college would be a tough thing to do. I never knew that I would miss the little things about my family though. Coming home just makes me realize how much I really missed random dance parties in the kitchen, or having a lazy day on the couch.

2) My Bed

Everyone knows college dorm beds are not ideal. They aren't known for being comfortable or roomy. They aren't terrible, especially when you top it with a nice memory foam topper, but nothing makes you realize how comfortable you could be like coming home to your nice, big bed.

3) Food

Food at college isn't terrible. Especially going to on-campus food options that aren't the main cafeteria. But I still really do miss those traditional home cooked meals that I never truly appreciated when I was in high school.

4)TV

Obviously TV is available on campus. But nothing says home like the thousands of channels as well as your favorite shows, that you missed while away, recorded to your TV and ready to watch.

5) Free Time

Nothing says home like having as much time as you want to do what ever you want. Being home is like escaping from your busy life of class and exams to just loaf around and wear your sweats.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
