Why Sometimes You Just Need A Weekend Home
Amy Boucher Pye

We all know college is great and once we got here we thought we would never want to leave.

The stress of academics gets to be too much.

We have reached the point in the semester where it is right before spring break, commonly known as midterm week. With all these different papers and assignments due along with the six tests you need to take obviously students are going to be stressed out. Being at school is a constant reminder of all the different things that need to get done. Staring at your desk gives you anxiety and all you want to do is procrastinate and take a very long nap. Going home allows you to break out of that environment and truly relax.

You need to give your wallet, liver and brain a rest.

During your weekend home, you will be able to detox your liver from constantly partying on the weekends. You will also be able to save your wallet the heartache of spending money on drinks, food and other stuff you really don't need. Also just being home allows for a pleasant feel for your brain to just relax and not worry about anything else.

It's nice to sleep in your own bed.

Regardless if your bed is the same size as the one at school, it is nice to be in your own bed. You are in your own house, in your own room and it feels amazing. You feel comfortable and don't have to worry about your bed squeaking or falling off the top bunk. You don't know why but your bed at home is always a lot comfier than the bed at school, regardless of how many egg crates you put on it.

You don't have to worry about roommates, suitemates or neighbors.

Coming home to a nice quiet house is amazing. You don't have to deal with annoying neighbors who blast really bad music or stomp on the floor like elephants. As much as you may love your roommates, sometimes you need a break. When you start to spend so much time with each other you can get on each other's nerves.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
