Hart of Dixie is a binge-worthy series on Netflix that has so graciously provided us with Miss Lemon Breeland. On most days, I find that Lemon is my spirit animal with her inability to mask her feelings via facial expressions.

Though Bluebell, Alabama and my hometown are very different, Lemon and I are very much the same... you'll hate her at first but then she becomes your favorite when all is said and done. Here is a first look at what a college student feels when they come home from break via Lemon Breeland.

1. When you see that your ex-boyfriend grew out his hair, got 14 tattoos, and you have NO IDEA what you were thinking.

WHY? WHY? WHY? What the hell were you thinking?!?!

2. When your mom asks when you are going to start working again...

I'd never actually slap her, but let me just hang on to this no job thing for a while... It's like an extended vacation!

3. When your college friends aren't there so you have to hang out with your old high school "friends."

It's not that you hate them, but you haven't talked to them in over a year and things are just different.

4. When you accidentally cuss in front of your parents because the life you live at school isn't quite the same...

5. When you've been home for more than 25 minutes.

You love your parents, but at college, you don't have any rules and you don't have to answer questions about your grades, job, or why you are STILL single. Thanks, mom, no I am not getting married to the guy I locked eyes with one time in Market Street.

6. When someone asks you about your GPA.


7. When someone shouts your name from across the grocery store.


It's terrifying because you don't know who you are going to turn around to. Pray to God it's not your ex's mom because nine times out of ten, it is...

8. And then someone asks why you've changed your major 3 times...

It's not my fault that I want to be a doctor-lawyer who teaches fashion design at a University!!

9. Or when your parents start bragging on you at school and they don't know that "The Library" is the name of a local bar.

I probably should've kept this one to myself... I promise I am studying, mom.

10. When you run into your high school enemy...

Even if your life is in shambles, you smile, wave, and pretend your life is great. Kill them with kindness?

11. When your siblings get more attention than you and they live there 24/7.

I'm only home for a few days, at most... Would it kill you to pretend that you like me just a little more than the rest of the family??

12. When your mom makes you do chores.


13. And when you start making the drive back to college and immediately miss your family, especially your fur-babies.

When it all comes down to it, you still miss your family, dogs, and your nosy neighbors. It's usually about 4 hours down the road when the home-sickness begins to set in. However, it is always a little bit more comforting when you get back to school with your friends and your own bed.

You'll be able to go back home soon and try again at masking how you really feel about everyone at home.

Thank you, Jamie King, for giving us these perfect expressions about life back home. You've embodied this character perfectly!

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.
