Every semester there's always that amazing feeling when you finish your last final, walk out of the classroom, get in your car and speed off campus like your life depend on it.

Then, once home, you throw on your comfy pajamas, open your Netflix, and begin binging shows like there's no tomorrow.

Until your mom tells you to clean your room or do the dishes, of course. Which is when you realize that there are some upsides to living on campus where you can have your room as messy you want.

Then, as Christmas gets closer, you have to scramble to find presents for your friends and family members.

And of course there's always Christmas dinner with family, and you always end up stuck next to the weird cousin or uncle and you're just looking at your parents like:

Then someone brings up the election and you know everything is about to go downhill from there.

But then you just pour yourself another glass like:

Before long, Christmas dinner is over and you're getting into your car to leave with all your presents from your family that you didn't want to begin with.

Then you get to spend time with your friends and celebrate New Years, while you spend all the money you got from Christmas so you're feeling like


But before long you realize it's almost time to go back to school.

And you begin ordering your books for classes and packing your clothes back up.
