9 Realizations College Students Have After Returning From Thanksgiving Break

Leaving campus for close to a week for Thanksgiving makes you forget that the busiest time of fall semester is soon to follow.

Here are nine realizations that every college student experiences within their first week back after Thanksgiving break.

1. Your true Thanksgiving food consumption.

You completely overate all of Thanksgiving and throughout break. You now are planning to start a new diet to shed the turkey weight, but then you see a Christmas cookie and plans are pushed back until New Years.

2. Your Black Friday/Cyber Monday purchases.

You only bought gifts for yourself on Black Friday and Cyber Monday and nothing for your family and friends. Now you have to find time to get gifts for everyone and still look for those good deals that were extended in stores.

3. Lack of motivation over Thanksgiving Break.

You have so much work to do in the next few weeks that you failed to do over Thanksgiving Break. The list that you made of everything to get done does not have one thing checked off ...

4. Finals stress.

Then the stress of finals begins to hit and your lists become even longer of everything that you have to complete. You start to calculate how many hours that you have to get everything done and question if it is truly enough time. Of course, a random group project appears, too, at this time and now you have to organize a time to meet with your group when no one has any time to spare.

5. No more sleep.

You begin to think that you will not sleep until your last final is over because a day is just too short.

6. Coffee, coffee, coffee.

You are about to consume the most caffeine of the semester so far. It will also lead to spending the last amount of money that you have left from the semester, all going toward your multiple trips to Starbucks.

7. What is time?

The last few weeks of classes and finals are going to go by so fast. However, when you are pulling all-nighters in the library, you forget what time is and are confused by any other space than the walls of the library.

8. Where did the year go?

How is it already finals season? I feel like I just got used to 2017 and now it’s going to be 2018.

9. It’s officially the holidays!

You are so excited because it’s official holiday season and it’s now socially acceptable to decorate your room, drink every holiday drink at Starbucks and blast your Christmas music in the shower.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
