Living on campus is great for a number of reasons, you get freedom and the ease of not commuting every morning. But you’ll probably be excited to go home for winter break for a couple of reasons:

 

1. I don’t have to wear flip flops in the shower.

  

    

2. Sharing a laundry room with literally everyone and waiting for a washer/dryer to be free.

3. I can burn candles! Some nights I just miss having a candle!

 

4. My family’s home cooking. (After a while eating on campus and eating out just gets old)

5.  No fire drills , especially at the most inconvenient times.

 

6. I have my own bathroom. I don’t have to share a community bathroom with anyone!

7. I can take a bath!

 

 

8. I miss my own bed!

I’m sure we’ll all miss the residence halls for a little while, but enjoy the break! And we’ll be back in the spring!

 

Hello! My name is Melanie! I studied Business Management here at Adelphi. Dancing is my passion and my life and I've been dancing since I was four years old. I still dance to this day in NYC. I was employed on campus as part of the Social Media Team. Also, on campus was involved in Adelphi's Symphony Orchestra where I played violin and wrote for HerCampus. Other fun facts about myself is I love animals and the outdoors, my favorite color is pink and I wish that I was a mermaid. ❤
