The alarm clock rings. You roll out of bed and head to class. It’s likely your biggest decision so far has been what size latte to order, and your main concern has been finding a parking spot on campus. For 22-year-old Katie Davis, there’s no alarm clock. Instead, she wakes up to several pairs of little hands on her face and several pairs of feet bouncing on the bed.

We know you love ‘em, but being home for such an extended period of time can be a drag. Instead of twiddling your thumbs, hosting a three-week movie marathon, or spending way too much time on Facebook, how about hanging out with and learning from your parents?
