Fall break for people who live far away is basically pointless. when you live 8 hours from home, its not worth it to be home for 3 days. Being a college student on campus during fall break, i have learned a couple of things.

1) Domino's is Bae

Caf food is already pretty bad, but during fall break they do not put in effort AT ALL. You will learn that pizza is your new best friend, plus you don't even have to leave your building.

2) You can watch whatever you want and nobody can judge you

And added bonus, you don't have to wear headphones

3) You become very afraid of the dark

Without your roommate, things become terrifying, especially when there are clown threats at your school. You learn to sleep with the door locked.

4) Your school work can always wait until after the next episode

You tell yourself only one more but then 6 episodes later and you're too far in to stop now. Plus you have all week...right?

5) Everything is quiet

There is literally no one on campus, walking around feels so lonely.

6) You get really lazy

You have no motivation at all to move, you might even sleep with the lights on just because you're to lazy to turn them off.

7) You sing in the shower

...Loudly, and there is no one around to hear it.

8) You don't care what you look like

You will walk out of the room without shoes on, hair in a bun, PJs, and a HUGE sweatshirt, and you could literally not care less.

9) You might start to get a little stir crazy

After watching all of Grey's Anatomy in one sitting, you might start to lose your mind just a bit. You might even start doing laundry or dishes, just because there is nothing else to do.

10) You miss your friends a lot

You are counting down the hours until your friends and roommate get back on campus.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
