Saturday Night Live made a spot on music video about going home for the holiday break. As I watched it for the first time, I laughed not only because Cameron Diaz was dressed in a gang-chic fur coat and rhinestone cowboy hat, but because of how scarily accurate this music video was. 

As the semester came to a close and I found myself watching the “Back Home Ballers” music video with my roommates more than I was studying, I decided that I would probably unintentionally check off nearly every item on the back home ballers’ list. So, without further ado, here are the things on my winter break to-do list.

• Have my dad unload all of my summer clothing boxes that I’m returning home for the cold days. 
• Raid the freshly stocked fridge. (Thanks mom!)
• Do laundry the way I like to do laundry…aka with the free water and detergent. No more Tide Pods! 
• Make a list of all the home cooked meals I want my mom to make. 
• See a movie with the fam on Christmas Day. 
• Naps, on naps, on NAPS. 
• Catch up with all of my high school friends and neighbors. 
• Use my parents’ free WiFi so I can catch up on my Netflix...I mean, winter intersession class.     

If you haven’t watched the "Back Home Ballers" music video, I highly recommend it. Thanks to NBC and Saturday Night Live for inspiring what will be a wonderful Christmas break for every college student and young adult, alike. And as much as we act sad to leave our friends for the break, we all know that it’s even harder to say bye to Mom and Dad when the break is over. ('Cause that's the life of a back home baller).
