Why College Students Need Christmas Break

Christmas break is literally right around the corner, or, if you’re lucky, already here. Here are some things that we all need:

1 - Sleep

Although I probably sleep more at college than I’ve ever slept in high school due to my flexible schedule, it always feels as though I only slept about five hours. Sleep is something that we all need to catch up on as soon as we return home, especially as a break from our finals.

2 - Real food

It’s been a struggle eating food that I actually like other than having to pay for it, so a lot of college kids are excited to go home for home-cooked meals and snacks without ever leaving the cold dorm to go outside.

3 - Friends from home

It’s been weird not seeing my friends from high school everyday, so I’m super excited to return home so we can pick back up right where we left off. It’s also a great way to tell the crazy stories you’ve been collecting since you moved in.

4 - Family

I’ve obviously missed my family since it’s been weird not seeing them every day/weekly since September, so it’s going to be great to catch up again and be sick of them once again in about a week.

We can’t wait!

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.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
