An average day in the life of a collegian in the 'twilight zone': AKA the period between Christmas and when second semester starts

9:30 AM: Begrudgingly get out of bed at the incessant prompting of a parent (who is counting down the days until you leave the house)

9:35 AM:Stare at yourself in the mirror, pondering your very existence and wondering why there needs to be so many hours in the day. Would 18 not suffice?

9:45 AM:Flop back onto your bed and mindlessly scroll through insta/facebook/tumblr/insta again to distract yourself from the existential crisis you were sliding into in the bathroom

11:00 AM:Finally go downstairs in your pajamas to be sassed that it's 'practically lunchtime.' You eat your cereal alone at the counter, longing for the all-day breakfast bar at school

11:45 AM:Get roped in to doing your younger sibling(s)' chores because they're at school *grumble*

12:00 PM:Check the clock. Only noon? It feels like you woke up a year ago!

12:01 PM:Binge watch you favorite TV show (hellooooooo, Outlander) until your eyes bleed

3:00 PM:Decide it's time for lunch; and by lunch, you mean an entire bag of wheat thins and a cheese stick. Long once again for the all-day breakfast bar

3:30 PM: Check your fitbit/Apple Watch and notice you only have 677 steps. By this time at school you'd have 7,000. Resolve to take a walk.

3:31 PM: Realize talking a walk requires changing out of your pajamas

3:32 PM: Decide not to take a walk

4:00 PM: Go up to your room with the intention of cleaning it, because that is literally the only thing you have to do today, but instead scroll through your phone again (how sweet- your BFF procrastination came home from college with you!)

5:00 PM: Finally resolve to start cleaning your room

5:01 PM: Get summoned by your mom (every. single. time.)

5:10 PM: Get released by your mom, but you've given up on cleaning entirely. You'll have to pack everything up anyway, right? Easier to stuff things in a suitcase when they're on the floor

6:00 PM: Eat dinner. Be torn between appreciating the fresh, home cooked meal and missing the million options (half of them dessert) at the dining hall

7:00 PM: Enjoy a precious 30 minutes of no boredom watching Jeopardy with the fam

7:35 PM: Wish that you had homework to do for a millisecond before you come to your senses

8:00 PM: Binge watch again. Or go on your phone. Or both.

1:00 AM: Finally go to sleep way later than you should have considering you have nothing better to do and your wake up comes once again tomorrow, bright and early
