7 Things We Love About Winter Break

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

As we spend our last nights of the semester cramming for finals, all that keeps us driving forward is the fact that winter break is so close we can almost touch it. We can’t wait to jump in our cars and get back home as soon as possible. Here is what we cherish in our few short weeks home:

1) Home-Cooked Meals

Isn’t this basically the main reason we all go home? Dining room food has got us feeling some type of bad way, and the microwave just isn’t cutting it anymore.

 

2) Our Pets

Let’s be honest here. We miss these fuzzy little creatures more than anything else when we’re gone, and they’re always happy to see us when we return.

 

3) Time Spent With Family

 

Well, to an extent. Then we start wondering when we can go back to school again so we don’t have to answer endless questions, our siblings can’t touch our stuff, we can live rule free and not see every person we went to high school with at the grocery store.

 

4) Our Own Beds

There is no feeling like sleeping in your own bed after spending time away. You can spread out without the limits of a twin xl, and it’s probably way more comfortable.
 

5) Local Hangouts with Friends

We have a love/hate relationship with the local bars and hangouts that we inevitably get dragged to at least once or twice by our few home friends. We want to make sure we see our friends, but we do not need to see everyone we ever met from our hometown.

 

6) Sleeping In

 There are no 8 a.m. classes to wake up for, and we are free from responsibility. So that means we stock up on as much sleep as humanly possible.

 

7) The Holidays!

No matter what holiday it is that you’re celebrating, it is bound to be the highlight of you break. It basically wraps everything we love together into one!

 

Everyone have a happy and healthy winter break!
