10 Phases Of Reuniting With Your Best Friends Over Break

Ahh the long awaited winter break… finally the end of semester is here! Only thing left to do is pack a bag and make the trek home. Of course the most exciting thing about the holiday break is reuniting with those you missed. My little puppy was so wound up when I got home and seeing my family made it feel more like Christmas time, but the best part was seeing my best friends.

If you're lucky, you and your best friends share a campus, but either way, you'be probably been waiting all semester to see someone. Here are the 10 phases my besties and I went through once we were all home again.

1) The anticipation!

Almost couldn’t believe the day had come but then I was the first home and had to wait and wait and wait!

2) Extreme frustration

Why are there still so many things keeping us apart! Dang snow and ice come back after we're snuggled up watching our favorite movies!

3)Texting each other nonstop

Even though I know they're still in finals, packing, or driving back I'll be blowing up their phones till they're back with me.

4) Showing up unexpectedly at each other's houses

It's after midnight but they just got home and I just can't help myself!

5) Extreme joy all over the place

You wouldn't believe that with all the time we spend on the phone together that there would be so much to hash out…

7) Falling into old traditions

Mexican food and movie reruns

8) Making the most of the time we have together

That feeling where you just don't want them to leave your side because all too soon there will be hundreds of miles between you.

9) Therapy sessions for days

There's so much to give and get advice on but just not enough time, but our conversations pick up right where they leave off each time so that helps.

10) Holiday gift exchange

Since it is that time of year we get a pass on spoiling each other (even though we’re both broke)

Ultimately the saying is true this is the best time of year!

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
