For many, the middle of the semester can get stressful and as Thanksgiving break rolls around we're jumping at the opportunity to recharge.

Thanksgiving break is our chance to return home to some good food, but while we look forward to escaping papers and exams there are certain situations you can't avoid when every single family member is thrown into one room.

The list below describes the few unavoidable moments we face on Thanksgiving.

1. Mom preparing the house for company.

If Mom isn't happy, no one is. If you can't clean it you might as well say "screw it" because all hope is gone.

2. Socializing with the one relative no one can stand.

There is always that ONE family member......

3. Food coma.

GET YOUR STRETCHY PANTS READY because there will be endless amounts of food coming your way!

4. Family shenanigans.

Whether it's your cousins or your crazy uncle, someone is always up to no good when it comes to holidays.

5. Dealing with annoying questions.


"How's school going?" "Oh, you know..."

"How's your social life?!" "Good.."

"What are you doing here?!!?" "I CAME TO EAT FOOD STOP QUESTIONING ME!"


No matter your situation, holiday breaks always fly by quicker than we realize and we don't have to deal with these things again until the next family reunion.

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.
