Coming home from college for Winter Break is one of the most anticipated things for many reasons. Mostly because you are done with classes, finals and school in general for an entire month, but also because you get to see your family and get some quality R&R without the stress of school. While on break there are so many emotions felt it can be a bit overwhelming, but it's just nice to be home.

Relaxed

You no longer have classes, or campus jobs, or homework so laying in bed binge watching that new show on Netflix is totally acceptable! You've worked hard all semester for this moment, enjoy it and don't let anyone tell you to move.

Freedom

Without that busy schedule, you now have free time to do everything you've put off all semester. And being home, you can plan everything under the sun with all the friends you haven't seen since summer.

Satisfaction

After a whole semester of terrible cafeteria food, you can FINALLY eat a home cooked meal. Even better, you now have a fully stocked pantry with snacks galore and the best part is you didn't even have to buy it!

Fear

Seeing your final grades at the end of the semester can be terrifying, but it's break and you survived the class so celebrate!

Happiness

You are finally home and with family for an entire month, you get to see your friends and you get to take month off from the stress of college. What more could make you happy? Oh right, we're college kids.. don't worry, there's eggnog and Bailey's too.

Merry Christmas, y'all. Enjoy your break!

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
