Being Home For Christmas Break As Told By 'Parks And Rec'

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year and because of that, the best show is here to help us explain our feelings about that month back home.

Finals week is hard time for all of us. Necessities like sleep and eating seem to no longer be a priority and you are ready to be home for the holidays.

All you can think about is traveling home, far far away from your responsibilities.

Finally, the time is here. The car is packed and you are ready for a month of guilt free Netflix binging and not having to do your own grocery shopping.

The first few days are spent catching up on the sleep you've missed the past semester.

After you have caught up on doing nothing, you decide it's time to be social and catch up with some friends from high school.

Then you realize you haven't talked to most of them in three years and you'd rather watch Netflix by yourself.

Unfortunately, Netflix watching can be pretty boring when you're not supposed to be studying for a test and your parents don't want to hear your complaining.

You realize that it's only been a week, you've run out of Netflix shows and you really miss your college friends.

You resort to making them talk to you 24/7 so you can pretend you are together.

When that doesn't work, you decide maybe you'll just spend some time with your parents.

After conversations about money, grades and future plans you decide that wasn't your best idea.

You never thought the day would come, but it's finally time to head back to the promised land: full of friends and no one asking you about your relationship status.

Until you realize that means it's time to start a new semester.

Don't worry -- summer will be here before you know it!

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
