After fifteen long weeks of hard work, sleep deprivation, and never ending stress, the time has finally come: the end of the semester. As someone who couldn’t be happier about the last week of the semester, not counting finals week, I have reflected on all of the things that I will miss about college life while I enjoy my break. My friends, my classes, my professors, feeling like I have a purpose in life by gaining an education and moving a step closer to my ultimate goal. I’m not ashamed to admit that I’ll even miss the campus food! All the amazing things to be missed aside, there is still a never-ending list of things that I will not miss during my month off. For now, here are twenty things that I will not even remotely miss during the upcoming break!

1. Apologizing to my bed every morning for leaving it at 5am.
2. Putting on makeup everyday and getting dressed.
3. The morning commute.
4. Having to socialize with classmates I know I won’t associate with next semester.
5. Having my schedule completely clash with those of my best friends.
6. Having to respond to “Can you meet up today?” texts with, “Sorry, too busy studying!”
7. BlackBoard. Enough said.
8. Connect assignments.
9. 11:59pm deadlines. I’m definitely not going to miss those.
10. Actively resisting f’real milkshakes; admit it, those things are the definition of heaven on Earth.
11. Midterm exams. Final exams. Any kind of exam will not be missed.
12. Three hour breaks.
13. Listening to a million Spotify ads while doing homework. There’s nothing worse than reading The Fall of the House of Usher while listening to a GEICO commercial, especially when you can’t focus on homework without music.
14. Having random guys approach me and pry for personal information even though I’ve expressed your lack of interest. Seriously, walk away.
15. Walking around campus in the rain.
16. Group projects.
17. Public Speaking. 9am is too early for me to even think a coherent thought, let alone present one to the entire class.
18. Being weeks behind on my favorite shows because of the workload. Winter Break means binging on all of my favorite shows and catching up!
19. Coming to campus only to realize my class has been cancelled. In hindsight, checking my email before I leave the house is probably a good idea.
20. Having the current state of my life be perfectly described by Evil Kermit memes. Relatable memes make up 99% of my camera roll, no shame.
