So tomorrow most grade-school kids will be returning from Christmas break. Also tomorrow, those same kids will be moaning and groaning to get up before noon and not be glued to their cell phones every waking second. In short, They. Are. Dreading. Tomorrow.

Meanwhile, college students (for the most part) won't be returning for another few weeks. This means a couple more weeks of home-cooked meals, sleeping in and scramming to enjoy the last bit of school-free time they have before it's back to the books. All this is good and well, but if you're like me, you love your school so much going back to the books sounds amazing right now because you're about to go cray.

What's the point? Well, the point is grade school students and high school students have very different opinions and thoughts about their return to school. Here's the difference:

For high schoolers, going back to school means:

- Homework begins on the first day back

- You get to watch all your friends prance around in their Christmas gifts and brag about them to literally everyone

- You have to wake up before the crack of dawn

and you're like...

For college students, going back to school means:

- No more mom nagging you about laundry and cleaning your room

- No more telling anyone where you're at and when you'll be home

- You have all your bffs at the touch of your fingertips

- No one can stop you from your Netflix binges

and you're like...

High schoolers, don't feel bad. Before you know it you'll be in Jonah Hill's situation rather than Tina Fey's and it'll be fab. Until then, sit down at the table and enjoy that home cooking because that's what you'll miss the most.

Your favorite Lancer that can't wait to return to Longwood.
