Feelings You Have Leading Up To Winter Break

Before Thanksgiving break is even over, you're already counting down the days until winter break. Here are some feelings that you might have leading up to winter break.


"I JUST WANT TO WATCH NETFLIX AND SLEEP!!!"

1. You're optimistic at first, and reasonably so. Three weeks? Hey, you've made it through over three months. It can't be THAT bad.

What's 15 more school days? Especially considering that the last week will just be coloring and watching "Elf."

2. Then you start watching tests and project deadlines pile up... You're worried, but you've still got this.

What's one more project?

3. Two weeks left... You look at your planner and all of your club meetings, practices, tests, quizzes and deadlines are set. There are three important things scheduled every day, and your optimism starts to fade away.


Because clearly every club has to meet during the same week, and every class has to have something due! There's no better option!

4. WHY IS TIME GOING BY SO MUCH SLOWER THAN IT NORMALLY DOES?


5. You start seriously considering dropping out of school, because, hey, then every day will be like winter break.

(This is before you remember that higher education is a thing that you want to pursue, so dropping out of high school may not be the best choice)

6. Studying for your quizzes and tests become even more tedious because you have no idea what you're doing. Maybe you should have been focusing on the lecture instead of making outrageous plans for winter break that will ultimately never happen.


Three tests on subjects you don't fully understand in one day? Thanks, Satan.

7. What even is a full night of sleep anymore?

"I'm in bed by midnight!! Where's my medal?"

8. At this point, seeing Christmas decorations just brings you sadness.

"WHY IS IT SO FAR AWAY? DON'T TEASE ME LIKE THAT. THAT'S SO RUDE"

9. You miss a deadline or two, or three, and you honestly don't care anymore at this point.

"What's ten points off of a homework grade, anyways? I'll just use my late pass and pray for the best"

10. Even though you're actually really disappointed in yourself, you're just too EXHAUSTED to be emotional about it.


"I would care so much more if I had the energy"

11. You're sitting in class in the middle of the week when you realize: ITS ALMOST HEREEEEE!!!!


Wait, has it really been almost three weeks??

12. WINTER BREAK IS ALMOST HEREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

13. Running out of your last class with the biggest look of disbelief.

"Did I actually survive these three weeks of literal hell on Earth?"

14. Your excitement wears off when you realize how quickly your break is going to fly by.

Especially in comparison to the three weeks leading up to it.

15. But hey, you sure are going to enjoy it while it lasts (Even with the assignments that you were given over the break)

"Oh, sleep, how I've missed you so."

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
