Here are the things I miss the most about being on campus:
1) Freedom
This may sound cliche, but I have so much more freedom in college. Primarily, the freedom to travel. I am from a small rural area and can't drive while I'm home, so over break I'm basically stuck unless my mom will drive me or a friend can. However, I go to school in a city where I can walk or take the bus anywhere. I'm also a train away from Boston and NYC at my college. I have yet to go to NYC, but 60 minutes and seven dollars to Boston is really fun.
2) Food
Sure, going to school in New England from Maryland, I miss real seafood (crabs and shrimp) and Old Bay. I also miss some home cooking (fried chicken and slippery pot pie), but overall I eat better at school. I want more curry in my life. I want jumbo muffins and focacia bread.
3) Friends
I miss my roommate. I miss my weekly friend brunches. I miss being able to see them whenever I want (see point one). I am even starting to miss the people I don't really like. No surprise. That happened to me after graduation. I've really enjoyed seeing some friends over break who I was maybe sick of at the end of high school. That is one good thing about break: seeing old friends.

The only good thing about not having anything to do over winter break is that I have no excuse not to write!
