5 Reasons Coming Home for the Weekend is a #Blessing

College is fun and exciting, but is also extremely tiring. Sometimes it's nice to have a weekend to refuel at home.

5 Reasons Coming Home for the Weekend is a #Blessing

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.

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.
