If you're like me (aka you have an incredible sense of humor) you've watched every episode of "The Office"... twice. The Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute duo never fails to keep me entertained, and I'm always laughing uncontrollably at the show. Surprisingly, even though Michael Scott is a manager for a paper company he seems to understands us college students quite well. It's not that us college students hate being home, it's just that we really like college. And going from talking to your family on the phone twice a week, to spending every waking moment with them for a month is a bit much. So, let us all take a moment to praise Michael Scott and the 14 times he explained how it feels to be a college student who returned home for winter break.
When you're fighting with your sibling, and your parents take their side instead of yours.
When you spend all of your Christmas money within a matter of two hours on things you probably didn't even need, but bought because they were on sale.
When your parents ask why there's a box of tissues next to you while you're on the computer checking if your final grades have been posted yet.
When your parents feel the need to wake you up at 8 a.m. so that you can 'stop wasting your day away by sleeping.'
When your family asks what happened to your plans of majoring in biology, and eventually becoming a doctor.
When a family member points out that even though you're excited to return to college in one week it means you'll also be returning to classes and homework.
When your parents suggest you start looking in to what summer classes are being offered at your college.
When your extended family members give you more money than normal for Christmas because they said they feel bad that 'you're a broke college student.'
When your family decides to gang up and make fun of you, so you just sit there like...
When you finally reunite with your high school friends, and have an excuse to get out of the house for a night.
When your family tells you your goal of getting a boyfriend/girlfriend next semester is never going to happen.
When you're singing to your favorite song in the shower, and your family yells at you to shut up through the door.
When your mom yells at you for how messy your room is, and how you still haven't fully unpacked yet.
When it's the last day of break, and finally time to go back to college.
