<p>Maybe "normal" is the wrong word because I'm sure plenty of people are very excited about going home for winter break. However, I feel like I SHOULDN'T be as excited as I am. I have friends here at school, and a couple of fairly close ones who I hang out with a lot too. I guess I'm just looking forward to being at home with my bigger group of friends from high school who I'm still closer to. That and having a car, sleeping in my own bed, etc.</p>
<p>What do you think? Is it normal to still be really excited about going home this early on (I'm a freshman)?</p>
<p>Agreed that it’s super normal! I’m a sophomore too and I just can’t wait for Wednesday </p>
<p>I think a lot of it has to do with being free from class and stuff. There’s also the tantalizingly happy notion of Christmas that makes everything better. :)</p>
<p>It’s completely normal. I still have two horrifyingly long weeks left here before I spend a month enjoying home cooked food, my own tv, absolutely no academics, friends I haven’t seen in 4 months, MY OWN BED AND SHOWER, and sleeping in everyday. I love this place but it’s time to go home for a while…</p>
<p>^ I’m SO looking forward to having my own bathroom again!!! I’m in a corner arrangement where there’s four other girls sharing my bathroom. I’m so ready to not have to trip over other people’s stuff just to go to the bathroom. (and to not have to carefully grab and then tow my stuff in a rolling cabinet) </p>
<p>And of course, being able to stay up as late as I want while not having to be conscious of a roommate is definitely a plus. :)</p>
