Through all of the hustle and bustle that life can bring to one's life, one can't help but wish that the world would just slow down for a little while. For college students, this slow-paced time is known as Christmas Break. This break is a time for them to unwind and relax after the first semester. Here are a few reasons why I love Christmas Break.


1. So. Much. Time.

Almost a month of break? It's a lot of time, but it goes by fast.

2. Home-Made Food

Nothing beats home-made food, like tater-tot hot dish, when you've been eating cafeteria food for the past four months.

3. Visiting Friends

Admit it, there's nothing that you'd want to do more than seeing the friends that have been there for you as you've grown up and saw you transition into college. The perk of coming back home for break is that you can choose who you hang out with.

4. Making Money

If you have so much time, why not work a little? Not only does it keep you busy for hours at a time, but it also allows you to make extra cash and lets you treat yourself.

5. No Responsibilities

No homework, no problem.


No matter what one thinks, we can all agree that Christmas Break is a good thing.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
