The First Ten Things you do when you get Home from College

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Gustavus chapter.

1. Peruse the fridge for delicious leftovers

Say goodbye to cafeteria food and Kraft Mac n’ Cheese for the next three months. 

2. Walk around without socks or slippers

No need to worry about stepping on anything questionable left behind by your floor-mates. 

3. Spend some quality time with your pet (if you have one)

The biggest flaw in the collegiate world is that there are no dogs.

4. Listen to the all of the music you like

You can play whatever you’d like whenever you’d like. Also, you don’t have to be subjected to the High School Musical soundtrack whenever someone takes a shower (unless you’re into that).  5. DO ALL THE LAUNDRY

It’s free and there’s always a washer available!

6. Relearn how to drive a car

Maybe you haven’t driven since last August and getting behind the wheel again makes you feel like a baby giraffe learning how to walk. 

7. Take a shower with no shoes

This is a luxury.

8. Delete all the word documents from last semester

Ah, so cathartic.

9. Have a home cooked meal

Everything tastes so good when you’ve been eating the same thing for the last nine months.

10. Sleep in your own bed

There’s no place like your own bed.
