College Student Love/Hate Relationship With Going Home For Break

Sometimes it’s nice to get away from school and seeing family/friends/pets and all the other great things at home, but it’s not all good, which is why we have a love/hate relationship with going back home for breaks.

Love: Seeing family

Hate: Having to remember to use your filter in front of family (something that is rather underused at school)

Love: Cuddling in your own bed

Hate: Going out in public and seeing way too many awful people from high school

Love: Home-cooked meals

Hate: You eat everything in sight; home comes with an endless supply of food

Love: Bonding over college stories with old friends

Hate: People always asking how college is

Love: Working back at your home job and making money

Hate: Working a ton of hours at your home job and hating your life

Love: Showing in your nice shower with actual water pressure and no sandals required

Hate: It can get a little boring, no crazy parties at home

Love: Free laundry

Hate: Having to lug home a lot of stuff and then somehow bring even more back after break

Love: No roommates

Hate: You miss your college friends after like three hours of separation

Love: Plenty of time to unwind and relax

Hate: Realizing you actually have a ton of work due when you get back to classes

Love: Getting to go back to school after a long week

Hate: Having to go back to school after a great week at home
