The holidays are right around the corner, and for many students, that means one thing: time to go home! But before you pack your bags and hit the road, there are a few things you need to know.
1. Travel is going to be crazy.
The holidays are one of the busiest travel times of the year, so be prepared for some major crowds. If you’re flying, book your flights early and be prepared to pay more. If you’re driving, be prepared for long delays and pack plenty of snacks and entertainment.

2. Your family might be a little… different.
It’s been a while since you’ve been home, and your family might have changed a bit. Your little brother might be taller than you now, your parents might have gotten new hobbies, and your grandparents might be telling the same old stories again. Just embrace it all and enjoy the time you have together.
3. You’re going to have to budget carefully.
The holidays can be expensive, especially if you’re on a student budget. Be sure to set a budget for gifts, food, and travel, and stick to it. There are plenty of ways to have fun and celebrate without breaking the bank.

4. It’s okay to say no.
Just because you’re home for the holidays doesn’t mean you have to say yes to everything. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, it’s okay to take some time for yourself. Go for a walk, read a book, or take a nap. You’ll be more fun to be around if you’re well-rested and relaxed.
5. Most importantly, enjoy the time you have with your loved ones.
The holidays are a time to celebrate with the people you love. So put your phone away, focus on the present moment, and make some memories that will last a lifetime.
