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

In This Article:

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.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
