Holidays And Long Distance As Told By The Grinch

Bethany Fulk

The holidays have been in full swing, and Christmas is now behind us. If you’re anything like me, Christmas is the most wonderful and magical time of the year. I live for the hot chocolate, the family time and the presents don’t hurt either. One thing that’s always hard though is the fact that my boyfriend lives hundreds of miles away and I can’t share my annoying love of Christmas with him. The feelings I have throughout the holiday season without him can be hard to explain to others who just don't understand or have their own significant others with them. Never fear, here's the Grinch on my feelings during the holidays in a long distance relationship.

When They Say It'll Go By Fast

Who are they kidding? The months will drag on.

When You Have No Idea What To Do When They Aren't There

Food becomes your only solace.

Waiting For Them To Text You Back Like

A minute seems like hours.

When You Try To Plan Your Days

What else are you supposed to do?

Seeing All Your Friends Post Cute Holiday Pictures With Their S/O

They're just having so much fun with each other! Why are they so cute! I want cute pictures!

When Bae Is Busy

You have no one else to talk to.

When You Get Invited Somewhere And Realize They Won't Be There

They would just love the ugly sweater party!

When They Say They'll Come See You

Counting down the days....

When You Finally See Them Again

YAY!!!!!

Don't let your heart shrink three size too small! The good news is, you'll see your boyfriend or girlfriend sooner than you think! In the meantime, don't forget to enjoy the season with your family and friends that are there. You can always Snapchat every moment to your love and it'll be like they were there the whole time. Good thing winter days are shorter than summer! You'll be back together in no time.

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!

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.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. 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.
