Welcome home! You've waited all semester for this. You're ready to decompress, see your friends, and cuddle your dog until they leave you for your sister. Here's what every college kid's winter break looks like:

1. Sleep

You’ve been stressing all semester, and you’re finally crashing. It could be one, two, or even four naps per day. You’re catching up on some well-deserved beauty sleep.

2. Eat, out of boredom

You’ve got too much time on your hands, and sometimes your mom is all-too-willing to whip up your favorite dishes. Come on, how could you say no to those cookies?!

3. Try to work out for the first few days

You figure, “Oh, I’ve got so much free time, I’m going to hit the gym every day!” But do you? This will probably wear off after the first week. That Christmas roast is looking too good, and the gym isn’t looking as good the day after.

4. Look your best with nowhere to go

Maybe you’ll learn to curl your hair, or try out a new makeup look - you know, just in case Prince Charming comes rolling through the neighborhood.

5. Look for any excuse to find adventure

Sooner or later, the boredom will get the best of you.

6. Visit their favorite hometown hangouts

You’ve been waiting to go to these places for months, and now it’s time to run home.

7. Cuddle their pet until the pet can’t stand them anymore

Your dog has had enough. It was cute the first three days, no they’d like some space, please.

8. Watch endless hours of Netflix

Need I say more?

9. ...And finish a series or two

I’ve already finished two.

10. Bumble & Tinder swipe to your heart’s content

Because maybe the hometown hotties are single and ready to mingle now.


Don’t worry, you've got plenty of December left. Enjoy your solitude, your delicious food and your freedom. Come January, you’ll be wishing you had it all back.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
