The 11 Phases Of Being A College Student Home For Thanksgiving

We all love thanksgiving. It's a way to get together with family when you're just coming back from college, a way to finally relax from all the school work, and a way to eat, let's just say, real home-cooked food. We all know those phases that we go through.. let's just put them out there.

1. The "Midterms need to be over so I can come home and eat that damn turkey" Phase.

It's just about that time. Midterms are coming to an end, and that last one just makes you want to jump off the nearest cliff.

2. The "I'm ready to come home" Phase.

The moment midterms are over, the moment you leave to go home, you're ready for that damn turkey!


3. The "It's time to eat" Phase.


Forget about anything else, you're ready to dive on in!

4. The "Grandma tries to give thanks" Phase.

We all have that family member, who just doesn't eat right away. They must say every little thing of why Thanksgiving is the best holiday and how we should appreciate it. We get it. Now let's eat!


5. The "Stuff your face" Phase.


Your family looks at you like you haven't eaten for 20 years.


6. The "You ate so much, you feel like a stuffed turkey" Phase.


We've all been there. You have to un-buckle your pants and sit there for a few minutes, while your breath becomes thick and heavy, and you actually feel as if you were the stuffed turkey on the table.


7. The "Oh no, the desert is ready" Phase.

The moment we've all been waiting for, ladies and gentlemen! Just after you thought you couldn't eat the entire table, there is more. Something none of us can resist.


8. The "Food Coma" Phase.

This is never a good moment in history, but it was well worth it!


9. The "Realization that you have school after this" Phase.

Someone just had to mention the word "school," didn't they?


10. The "Thanksgiving Blues" Phase.

The drive back to school, feeling some type of way.


11. The "What even is homework?" Phase.

All that stuffing and turkey got to your head, and you just don't know where to even start.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
