While college kids have been on break for about two and a half weeks now, a lot of us are getting anxious to head back to school, some may even say we have gotten bored at home. Although college is great, and there are so many things to look forward to when going back, there are also several things that you will miss when leaving home. And yes, you are not leaving forever, but, you are moving on to another big part of your life.

Another semester of college filled with sleepless nights, last minute studying, the decisions to have the enjoyable pizza or the healthy salad, unbelievable stress, amazing new friendships and a load of new experiences. While you venture off into this new semester, don't forget the things you have at home.

1. Being able to drive 5-10 minutes to your best friends house, despite the fact they go to a different college.

2. Coming home to a nice home cooked meal that you get to enjoy with your whole family. Yes, the cafeteria is great, but it does not taste like the food you have at home I can assure you of that.

3. Knowing the streets like the back of your hand, and finally being able to give google maps a break.

4. Staying up until whatever time every night knowing that you will not regret it the next morning.

5. Having absolutely nothing to do; yes, this could be boring at times, but it is a nice break from the nonstop schedule college kids have on a daily basis. Relax while you can.

6. Not having to argue with suite mates about whose turn it is to get the toilet paper because at home you never run out.

7. Dogs. Let's be real, when you're in college your day is made if you ever get lucky enough to see a dog.

8. Your parents and siblings. Yes, you can text them everyday while at school, but that does not do as much justice as actually being able to see them everyday.

9. Never having to worry about finding a parking spot. We all know those days where you went out to get one little thing and come back to find yourself searching for a parking spot for hours on end debating whether or not you should just take a ticket.

10. Silence. In college you have to search for a moment of silence whether it is because of the numerous events going on in your building, the sound of a never-ending fire alarm, or even your roommates' Netflix addiction.

11. A room big enough for you to feel as though you are not trapped in a jail cell.
