As a huge admirer of Tina Fey's work, I could not contain my excitement when I found out she created a show for Netflix. When "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" aired its entire season last spring, it only took two days for me to watch the whole thing. Even though I don't watch it on a daily basis anymore, I often think about the hilarious cast and the funniest moments of the show; with winter break approaching, I will definitely be re-watching Tina Fey's genius show again! In preparation for the excitement I have for holiday break, I have the 10 best feelings you experience during holiday break, as told by "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt."

1. Realizing you're done with finals

This was you a week ago, but now you're cuddled into bed, enjoying the fact there's no alarm set for an early morning exam, and it can stay that way for a while!

2. Eating junk food

Maybe not exactly what your mom had planned, but she'll let it slide because you deserve it after the four months of cafeteria food.

3. Wearing PJs ... constantly

Wearing pajamas every single day isn't frowned upon unless I'm expected to be at a Christmas or New Year's party. Which is OK with me.

4. Reuniting with your pet

You're so excited to see them, and you'll do everything to make them love you even if they may not want it, including reenacting "The Lion King."

5. Reaching a new level of laziness

Your mom may want you to help her make Christmas cookies, but you already got up for breakfast and now you're settling in to binge-watch some Netflix. You can only do so much.

6. Choosing to ignore all responsibilities

Stepping away from your to-do list can be the most rewarding thing -- just don't forget about it before you go back to school.

7. Fighting with your sibling(s)

Let's face it, we all miss teasing our siblings, so it doesn't feel like a jab at your self-esteem when they start an argument with you during winter break.

8. Enjoying guilt-free naps

It's already midmorning and it's time for your second nap. Just blame it on the lack of sleep during the past semester, and your family won't question anything.

9. Visiting your friends who are working

While your friends may find an opportunity to make some extra cash over break, you find the opportunity to visit them and tell them how proud you are of their hard work.

10. Realizing you get to reunite with your college friends soon!

After being home for a while, you start to miss school a little. Then you remember in a few short weeks you will be reunited with your roomy!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
