13 Things That Happen Over Winter Break
Her Campus

Winter break is supposed to be relaxing. You get to have a break from classes and all the work that comes along with them. However, there are some things that will you probably do or probably happened to you over break no matter where you are from.

1. Netflix Binging.

You probably will watch at least one entire series over break.


2. Gaining at least 5 pounds.

Between the holidays, and eating out of pure boredom you probably will gain a few.

3. Running into some one from high school you don't want to see.

Just look down and pretend you didn't seem them.

4. Catching up with old friends.

Nothing is better than catching up with your friends that didn't go away for college or the ones that go to a different school than you.

5. Missing your college friends.

You're college friends are the best. So of course you are going to miss being a five minute or less walk from them.

6. Hanging out with the family a lot.

Let's face it, mom and dad have really missed you.

7. Hanging out with the dog a lot.

Because you have missed him or her and they have missed you too.


8. Missing the social scene at college.

Weekends are a lot lamer in your hometown. Sigh.

9. Checking social media more often.

Hmm, I wonder what [insert name here] has been up too?


10. Going on a shopping spree.

All those gift cards you got for Christmas aren't going to spend themselves.

11. Living out of your landry basket or suitcase.

Why would you wanna unpack? You'll only be here for a month.


12. Avoiding checking you final grades or checking for them every five minutes.

You kind of know how you did already.

13. Sleeping in everyday.

Gotta catch up on all that missed sleep from last semester.

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!

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
