THE END IS HERE.

Not the end of the world... Its the end of Christmas Break. Which, for some is the end of the world. After a month out of school, we have to drag ourselves out of our warm beds, go into the freezing weather that some call the Tundra. You know who you are.

10) Saying goodbye to home cook meals.

Ah yes, the good food that doesn't come from the mysterious cafeteria and it actually comes from our lovely parents, which is delicious and how can we handle not having it anymore? See, here's the thing about a good home cook meal. You know what ingredients go into it: the five food groups along with love and caring. The ones where your stomach is happy, and so glad that you're not eating terrible food for a month. Lets just sit, reminisce on how much we're going to be missing that once we're back in our dorm rooms and home away from home.

9) Not seeing your family everyday.

Okay, this is basically like a Catch 22. On one hand, no more force talking about politics or any insane questions like 'has your love life changed?' No, it hasn't but thank you for reminding me that I'm single. On the other hand, you're going to miss those magic memories that makes you miss them and go back to up above, food. Also, them spoiling you? It's going to be a hard five-months. Also, saying goodbye to them and knowing that they're waiting for you back home? Even harder.

8) Not sleeping in.

We all know that everyone started to sleep in right after their last final. This place is a safe place, we can admit that we're going to miss sleeping in until noon or at least four in the afternoon. All warm in our beds, not wanting to leave them and just wanting to enjoy the cold weather by looking out at it.

8) No more Netflix-Binging.

....Who am I kidding? That's still going to be around by midterms, at least. There's always Spring Break too!

7) No more movie premieres.

See above. Nuff Said.

6) Bikini Season.

Why do we need to worry about our summer bodies during the winter? Granted, yes. We do want to get healthier, but come on. Do we really need to worry about our summer bodies right now?? When Valentine's Day is right around the corner and we're still snacking on Christmas candy? We can worry about that after Valentine's Day.

5) The Homework pile.

You know about this pile, you're aware of this pile, but do you really want to not do it and not graduate?

4) Telling everyone what you did over the break.

You get to hear amazing stories about your friends' breaks and be jealous of them, but when they ask you about yours, you don't want to admit that you didn't really see anyone over Christmas Break. Let's face it, we have to be social for five months, do we really want to be social over break?

3) Introducing yourselves to the class.

Okay, we know everyone. Especially if you're an English Major. You get to see everyone, each semester. Do we really need to introduce ourselves to the class? However, if we must say something interesting about ourselves, then I guess we will.

2) Trying to find time to hang out with friends.

Once the semester picks up, a lot of people lose contact with each other and just become this ghost whom most people talk or even hardly see. Also, making time for them. Its harder than most people think.

1) The Cold.

You should've known what number one was by the introduction. Shame, but that's okay! We have to go back into the coldest winters so far. Especially when it keeps snowing, snowing and snowing. We have to layer up, just to walk from one building to the next.

So like our fallen Princess once said.

This semester.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
