College is hard, and when you’re far from home it can be even harder. Whether you’re minutes or hours away, that first long break home is seriously refreshing. You get to bask in the food, the fam, and the friends before returning to school for a short while before…finals. Here are a few of the break’s highlights:

 

That first home-cooked meal

 

The friend reunion

 

Getting the chance to spend quality time with the fam

 

…Until comments start flying at the dinner table

 

Thanksgiving Dinner! (pardon us as we *drool*)

 

Not to mention, getting to sleep in your own bed

 

And that hot (non-communal) shower

 

Plus reuniting with your PET, the real priority

 

But most of all, enjoying a little stress-free break sans any GB-112.

Mattie Touzeau is a freshman at Bentley University who hopes to become an IDCC major. Whenever she's not sleeping or working you can usually find her outside.
Native New Yorker Brooke Camarda has had her eclectic share of jobs—from the runways of NYFW to the haunted hallways of NYZ Apocalypse. Commonly known by her alter ego of Wonder Woman, there's no task or adventure that the skydiving-enthusiast isn't willing to take on. She loves typography and cappuccinos almost as much as she loves her (very) big family, and is thrilled to be writing for Bentley University's chapter of Her Campus.
