15 Things That Are Guaranteed to Happen This Thanksgiving Break

How the next few days are going to look for you and the rest of us worn out college kids.

1. The idea of Thanksgiving break is appealing.

You get to go home for a few days and the promise of a feast has been getting you through these last few days of Ramen and drinking fountain water.

2. Wednesday classes are long and pointless.

Some schools give the week of Thanksgiving which is a beacon of light in your bum life. But most schools adhere to the three day class week, which is dumb because lets face it by Wednesday your doodling in your notebook and checking Buzzfeed while your professor lectures. They know you're not paying attention and frankly they don't want to be in either.


3. At least one professor will be a Thanksgiving hater and assign homework.

^This guy.. We hate you.


4. You will inevitably forget to pack something to go home.

Laptop, phone charger, acne cream? You were just too excited to get home, this is what stores are for.


5. Your parents will make you help set up or get ready for the festivities.

It's like they wait until the last minute just so they can make you bring down six extra chairs from the attic or vacuum the stairs.

6. You will have to put up with all of the questions from nosy family members.

So what if you're a two year super senior, its none of their business.

7. Thanksgiving dinner will last about 35 minutes and then you will be forced to help put away leftovers and clean dishes.

Just do it and smile at the fact that you don't have to eat frozen Lean Cuisines for three more days.


8. You'll spend the next three days sleeping off school, upcoming exams, and turkey comas.

You deserve this. It's been a hard semester.

9. And the next three nights drinking with the people you graduated high school with.

Everybody comes home for Thanksgiving take advantage of that time together by embarking on a three day Beer pong and Flippy cup tournament.


10. Your parents will start to get on your nerves by Saturday.

At college there are no rules for you. You don't have to make your bed or even get out of it. Don't worry Sunday is approaching fast.

11. Your mother will do all of your laundry and make turkey slop.

And suddenly you forget about having to make your bed for a few days.

12. You'll forget you have homework until about 5:30 Sunday evening.

You either don't do it or pull an all- nighter. Thanks for nothing Professor. Jackass.

13. Your mother will send you packing with a pile of leftovers.

You rejoice in the upcoming days of free food.


14. You'll leave way to late.

Oh it's 7? I should probably leave to partake in my four hour voyage home.

15. You realize Thanksgiving is a cruel joke.

Four grueling weeks left of the semester. Time to start planning for exams and group projects galore. Thanks for teasing me Thanksgiving, you beautiful bitch.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

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.
