10 Strong Feelings Every College Student Has Going From Finals To Christmas, As Told By 'New Girl'

The transition from finals to home is crazy. There's a lot of emotions and things your family, and yourself, just aren't ready for.

If you need to prepare for it, here's what you might need to be prepared for, as perfectly told by "New Girl."

Somehow I'm still stressed 

Ever feel like you still need to study or do something even after you finish a class?? Currently in a constant state of stress and anxiety.

Confused on what to do now

After I realize I'm finished studying and finals have finished, I have no clue what to do next. Like should I read, start a new show, take up a hobby?

Super bored 

None of these options seem good and obviously the best option is to eat...everything.

Overjoyed to be finished 

A moment of joy occurs as you realize another semester is complete!

Realizing it's Christmas 

Oh no, finals just ended so now Christmas began and I'm missing all of it.

I can finally sleep 

*Realizes sleep can now be an option* (if I choose).

I might need a drink or two 

Hmm, I just realized I may need a drink in the alcohol variety, due to the fact that I'm still bored and stressed over the semester that just concluded.

You probably start preparing your speeches about your future for your family

Ah yay, holidays in which we can explain why X, Y, and Z didn't go as planned and prove that we didn't fail, this is all a part of the plan. This part certainly keeps life interesting.

Watching TV is EVERYTHING 

Now is the time to finally watch all the shows you missed! Or you can finally rewatch an old favorite. Or just watch something because you didn't for a decent amount of time.

 Family doesn't understand the new college habits 

Many of us take our college lives home with us. For example, your family might not be as okay with your new sense of style...or lack of style, depending on how you look at it. Like why can't I go out in public in my pajamas? NO ONE CARES AT SCHOOL.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
