1. Home-cooked food.

Let's be honest, getting to eat a home-cooked meal by your mom is one of the biggest reasons you are excited to go home. Not to mention, you're pumped to check out an actual fully stocked fridge with real food.

2. You can be lazy.

Your mom actually encourages you to become a couch potato for the weekend and is so excited to have you home to watch endless hours of episodes of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

3. Laundry.

You don't really do your laundry at school (as consistently as you should) and are out of clean socks and underwear. Luckily, you're going home with your laundry basket as your suitcase because your mom will probably be happy to wash and fold your clothes.

4. Family.

It's refreshing to stay in for a weekend and catch up with your siblings and parents. After all, you have to admit to yourself you actually kind of miss them (A LOT!)

5. Your bed.

What is better than coming home to sleep in your own comfortable bed for countless hours??? Seriously, nothing. You get to sleep in your own bed without hearing your obnoxious neighbors keep you up all night. You also realize it's probably time for you to take down your posters of hot guys from your J-14, TigerBeat, and M magazine phase.
