It's almost that time, for college campuses to go quiet and the students to go home! Happy Thanksgiving!

1. I cannot wait to eat yummy thanksgiving food, I hate dining hall food

Yes, you miss your family and want to hang out with your friends but your number one priority is getting some good food.


2. Why are my professors giving us so much work, don't they know Thanksgiving is next week?

Some professors cancel classes for all of Thanksgiving week, others have an exam and project due that week. There is no in-between.

3. So if Thanksgiving is on a Thursday and classes are canceled Wednesday, I can go home on Monday or do I have to wait until Tuesday

*Calls mom* "All of my friends are coming home the Monday before so I should too right?"


4. Why don't I just go home the Friday before, I'm missing class either way...

Unless there is an exam or something due, there is no point in going to classes considering I probably won't do anything I can't do from my computer at home. If they do, do something in class I'm sure I can get the notes from a friend.

5. I should bring home lots of laundry since mom will do it and its free!

$1.25 a load can get expensive, so why pay for laundry if you're going home anyways?


6. I love my bed is much....can I bring it back to school with me?

Nothing compares to your comfy bed at home, no matter how many mattress pads and toppers you get, it's just not the same.


7. Can we make extra food so I can bring some back to school with me?

Did I mention how much I really hate dining hall food? I really, really hate it so please make extra of everything so I can survive until Christmas break!



8. I'm showering....without shoes on..... this is weird!

My feet can finally get cleaned, this is the weirdest feeling ever, god I hate showering at school!



9. Wait....my mom just told me I had to be home by 11.....I hate being home.

Going from no parental supervision to having a curfew is weird! At school I can go wherever, whenever with whoever I want. Being home is annoying because you have to tell your parents where you're going, who you're going with, for how long you're going, and you have to let them know if plans change!


10. Can I go back to college but not have any work?

I love my friends, living on my own, and some of the classes, but college would just be 100X better without any of the work!

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
