7 Thoughts You Have After Thanksgiving Break

3 Weeks In Hell Before Finals

7 Thoughts You Have After Thanksgiving Break

If you're like me and think that Thanksgiving Break is exactly that- a BREAK, then you're probably panicking right now. You have papers piled up, assignments to do, and worst of all, finals are looming over your head like ornaments on a Christmas tree. Worst of all, it's finally socially acceptable to blast Christmas music and whip out your holiday themed fuzzy socks, but you can't even get in the Christmas spirit because you're too stressed. These are 7 thoughts you have after Thanksgiving Break.

1. When you realize you didn't do any work over Thanksgiving Break and you're totally screwed.

Professors, we know you didn't spend the break grading our papers. So why should we have to spend our breaks writing them? In retrospect, my passive aggressive protests of waiting until Monday to start probably wasn't the best idea.

2. When you wonder why your last exam is on the 18th, even though your high school squad is already home and on break.

Not sure how my Florida State and South Florida friends can start later and end earlier- maybe this is why tuition here is so expensive. Either way, seeing 80,000 seconds of Snapchat stories of all the fun they're having without you is going make it hard to be a Gator.

3. When you have to forgo Christmas parties to study.


The rest of your friends are going to Ugly Christmas Sweater parties and posting it all over Instagram. You're sitting in Club West and crying because you know it will take a Christmas Miracle to save your GPA.

4. When it goes from 80 degrees to 40 degrees in a day because it's winter, but it's Florida Winter.


I spent all of fall semester wishing it was cold. Now it finally is, it's too cold, and I spend my days walking to class shivering in the mornings and sweating to death in the afternoon. Make up your mind, Gainesville.

5. When you can't even burn Peppermint Mocha Christmas Candles to de-stress, because you can't have candles in your dorm.

This one might be a little too specific. Dorm life is hard. But then you realize that you don't even care and light it anyways.

6. When the freshman fifteen becomes a thing, because you're too busy to go to the gym.

Not to mention, you just gorged yourself on three days of Thanksgiving leftovers. It may be winter, but we live in Florida. Every season is bikini season.

7. You realize you're about to be broke AF.


Between Friendsmas, Secret Santa, and getting gifts for your actual family, your wallet is about to take a hit. And you're already spending extra on all that espresso you need for studying.


But even with all these struggles, you are still proud to be a Florida Gator, because you're going to crush all of your exams, making these struggles worth it.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
