Well, you made it. Weeks of struggle bussing with school, work, clubs, and God knows what else, are over. Now what lies ahead is a week or so of pure bliss. From a mother's touch to the stressful family outings, Kevin and his gang know exactly how this is all about to go:

The end of the semester probably has you feeling like you may explode

You are out of money, happiness, and patience. The break can't come soon enough.

And your last day of class before the break is testing you more than you need

Really? Required attendance? Today?

Seriously, finals are coming really soon and like me, you probably aren't even close to being ready

Those finals are coming like a freight train and there is absolutely no extra time or extra points to find anywhere.

But you made it so now it's time to let loose

But not too loose...because finals.

And we all know what you'll really be doing during the break

Sleeping is the best early Christmas present, hands down.

Which you'll be needing to do in order to cope with your annoying younger relatives

You're tired, bitter, and too old for their mischief. But don't be too much of a Scrooge, because you know better than anyone else that childhood is a forgotten wonder that your 18 credit hours have stolen from you.

And God forbid you have to take them with you on your family outings to holiday shop


Just don't take it out on the customer service employees. They have to deal with it too, but on top of everyone else's kids that walk terrorize their store.

But on the chance you get to go alone with your mom's credit card...

Nothing feels better than shopping with a checking account with more than $1.50 in it.

But you're barely an adult at this point so you know you don't really belong at the store on your own

And all the people from your hometown constantly remind you of that.

Not to mention being home again makes you feel like it's ok to be 10 again

From getting you extra blankets during your afternoon naps and bringing you snacks, moms make it hard to go back to the real world.

Even though that's probably not for the best

Ok so try not to take too much advantage of the whole, "kid" thing. An 18 year old jumping on the bed is a little silly. Even though you totally tried it.

And during your last few days of break, you'll be constantly reminded by your parents of your impending doom.

I know break is over soon mom. No reminder please.

Cause back at school, you'll be feeling a lot of this

A whole lot of struggle bus.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
