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?"
