Going Back To School After Winter Break, As Told By New Girl
Hello Giggles

Winter break is a blessing. There is no doubt about that. After a semester we thought would never end, it's much needed time to unwind, and recover. But somewhere along the line, all hell breaks loose. One minute, I was relaxed and happy, and now I'm stressing out about my spring schedule. How did this happen? How did we get here? Let's rewind to where it all went wrong, as told by New Girl.


1. You get home, and everything is how it should be


FINALLY, it's time to binge on hours of Netflix, and sleep in until noon everyday.

2. But then a relative asks how your grades were this semester


I dropped from a 3.82 to a 2.82 all in one semester, but thanks for reminding me.

3. You feel like a guest in your home and it's just downright uncomfortable

My room is now a guest room, all my belongings are in boxes, and I'm living out of a suitcase. Home sweet home.

4. And your mom has the AUDACITY to ask you to do some remedial chore like the dishes, as if you ACTUALLY live there

Can't you ask one of your other kids?

5. After days of sleeping in, and not knowing what day it is, you look at a calendar and realize you have to go back to school soon


You like being home, but then again, has it REALLY been that great so far?

6. When your friends who go to school in your hometown complain about having to go back to school

You live at home, don't have to pay rent, and don't have hours of driving ahead of you, so sit down.

7. And you realize how a lot of them haven't matured since high school


You're always going to love your high school friends, but sometimes it's nice knowing you only have to see some of them for a few weeks out of the year.

8. But then you realize you get to see your college friends if you go back

You've been on break for almost three weeks, but you already high key miss your friends. Time to go back.

9. Waving bye to your family knowing you're going back home to your college family

See you at spring break, fam.

10. And finally your roommate asks how your winter break went


But now you're safe, and that's what matters. (At least until Syllabus Week is over...)

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
