Winter break is over and the new semester has started. For some, this brings excitement. For others, well, let's just say that this time of year makes it hard for them to find any excitement. Nobody can relate more to difficult times than our friends from "New Girl," and here to show you are some of the best gifs that show what it's like to go back to school.
When it's time to leave your bed at home.
Possibly the hardest goodbye ever.
When it's time to leave and your parents give you the "I had to do it, too" speech.
The last thing we need as our vacation comes to a close is another story from our parents' "glory days."
When you're asked if you've done your homework over break.
Procrastination seems to spread like wildfire during the three weeks we have off.
When you and your friend are in the same class.
This spells "trouble" with a capital T for the professor, but "free copying" for you guys.
When you're forced to eat cafeteria food.
The transition from mom's homemade cooking to cold deli meat wraps is never easy, so make sure to stock up on the Kraft Mac-N-Cheese cups.
When you meet with your advisor for the first time after seeing last semester's grades.
The big GPA reveal is always surprising, so it's up to the advisors to help us do damage control.
When it's finally the weekend.
Blast that "Cotton Eye Joe." Blast it.
When your crush is in your class.
Who knew the Macroeconomics class could be so interesting?
When it's the night before your first test.
When the professor's back is turned.
How dare they assign this much homework already? Isn't it called syllabus week for a reason?
When everyone got a boyfriend over break except you.
Oh, great. As if you needed another reason to hate your 8 a.m. lecture.
When the professor wants to do an icebreaker.
How about we leave those back where they belong: in middle school.
When the professor asks you literally anything during the first week.
Sorry, my brain is still somewhere in my basement cuddled up in four blankets in the dark watching "Shameless" for seven consecutive hours.
When your parents check in with you after the first week back.
No worries, though, Mom and Dad. It's all cool.
When the professor asks if they should know about any weaknesses you have.
Now, that's a class they should teach: how to make good decisions.
When you're assigned a partner.
You'd rather do icebreakers instead.
When you finish all of your homework.
Nothing says "freedom" more than an empty backpack.
