25 Thoughts Of A College Student Before Winter Break

After being home with my family for only 5 days during thanksgiving break, I got back to my dorm, sat down on my bed and suddenly remembered the 647826 things that I have to do the next three weeks. This is the time of year that college students dread. You know you're so close to being home again and enjoying the holiday season, yet you're also 6 papers, 2 presentations, 5 exams and 25 chapters away. During the last few weeks before the long-awaited Christmas break, there are many thoughts that go through a college student's mind. Since its the holiday season, here are 25 of the most common thoughts.

1) "Okay so how many days do I have before I actually need to do work?

"2) "If I make a checklist, It'll be easier"

3) "Should I spend my last $7 on a Christmas gift or easy mac and pizza rolls?"

4) "My roommate deserves a Bath and Body Works gift set but all I can get her is some hair ties."

5) "Can I make Christmas cookie in a microwave?"


6) "Would My CA notice If I snuck a real Christmas tree into my dorm?"

7)"If I take nap now I will be able to stay up and write that paper tonight."

8) "I can't wait to shower without flip flops on for a whole month and a half"

9) "How should I schedule my work around Freeform's 25 days of Christmas marathon?"


10) "It's too cold outside to walk to class, So if I just skip it I'll have more time to do work."

11) "Holiday parties on campus are going to be so much fun"

12) I can't go to holiday parties because I have a 15-page paper due this week"

13) "4:30PM is definitely an acceptable time to drink 3 cups of coffee."

14) "I should buy an ugly Christmas sweater!"

15)" $31.97 for an ugly Christmas sweater? NEVER MIND!"

16) "I hope my family doesn't decorate the tree without me."

17) "I knew I shouldn't have spent $8 on that burrito last month."

18) "Would this be a bad time to drop out?"

19) "Where did this assignment come from?"

20) "Hopefully my family won't realize how much weight I've gained."

21 "Is there a student discount on Christmas decorations?"

22) "Everyone is getting a DIY gift this year."

23) "If I play Christmas music loud enough, nobody will hear me crying."

24) "This outfit would look really good with slippers!"

25) "IS IT TIME TO GO HOME YET?"

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
