Six Reasons… Going Home For The Weekend Is The Best Thing Ever

You spend years and years waiting to fly the nest but once you head off to college or wherever it may be, you usually end up wanting to go back home again... for a few days anyway. Here are six reasons going home for the weekend is the best thing ever.

1. You're reunited with your own bed When all is said and done, there's nowhere like your own bed. Your pillow is definitely the best and it's the only place you really get a great night's sleep. 2. Quality time with the dog None of your friends are ever this excited to see you. 3. The unlimited supply of food From mam's home-cooking to the fridge raid, you are guaranteed to have a full stomach for at least a week. 4. Catching up with the homies You haven't seen your best buds for absolutely ages. Cocktail catch-up! 5. ALL of the television Having been away for weeks, you have about two days of viewing to get through. The fact that you're home is the perfect excuse to hog the TV. 6. Pampering  And the main reason going home for the weekend is so special? All of the TLC. To celebrate the start of the new college term, Iarnród Éireann is offering students the chance to win a free return train trip over the next six weeks. All you have to do to enter is tweet #RailFTW with your origin and destination for your chance to win!
