Ever since I have gotten back from winter vacation, I have had no motivation and I don’t feel like doing anything. I was home for a full MONTH and now I am BOMBARDED with homework, papers, and projects. Now I have to get use to the cafeteria food, AGAIN.

Here are just a few thoughts that have been running through my head ever since I came back to school.

  • Why did I sign up for 8:30s every morning?
  • We had homework? CRAP!

  • Please have grilled cheeses in the cafe. Please, please, PLEASE!
  • Will this professor ever stop talking?
  • Oh my gosh, there is two minutes left in class. I can’t make it.

  • I just want to go home.
  • I need my bed, NOW!

  • Only 4 1/2 more weeks until Spring break… and then like 4 1/2 more weeks until Summer.
  • Study or Netflix? Yeah, Netflix, I’ll study tomorrow or at some point in time.

  • Wow, it’s already 1:13 a.m. I’ll go to bed after this episode of Shameless.

Well, now that I’ve gotten all of those thoughts out of my head, I guess it’s time to watch another episode of Shameless and not study for any of my classes. Time to go eat another grilled cheese and do none of my homework. WOHOOOOO! Yay college!

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No, really. I'm not mad. Just hungry.

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
