10 Things College Students Are NOT Thankful For This Thanksgiving

In This Article:

With Thanksgiving among us, we're beginning to enter into the holiday season. This is a time typically filled with food, fun, and family. But if you're anything like me, it's also filled with reflection.

I can't help but think about how thankful I am, to be where I am right now.

But I also cannot seem to shake the feeling of how thankful I'm not for certain aspects of my life. If you're a college to student, I can assure you... you are not thankful for these either.

1. Professors that give homework over Thanksgiving break

Giphy

Seriously though? What kind of heathen do you have to be to assign something for over the break! It's a BREAK for a reason.

2. All the money that is NOT in my wallet... or bank account

Giphy

The #brokelyfe that comes with being in college is a serious struggle. Ever wanted a slice $2 slice of pizza but only had $0.17 on your debit card?

3. Final Exams

Giphy

I cannot, have not, and will not be thankful for any of my final exams. RIP to all of those who have them back to back!

4. Group Projects

Giphy

Group project? Oh! I thought you said I do all the work and then my group reaps all the benefits because they're slackers.

5. Dining Hall Food

Giphy

Word of advice- chicken fingers are always the safest bet.

6. Parking at my school

Giphy

S/o to the all the spots in the back of Rider's residence lot!

7. That one professor who thinks their class is your only class

Giphy

There's nothing more stressful and infuriating than having to stay up all night and doing homework for a professor that doesn't understand that this is only three of your 15 credits this semester and you're only in their class because its a graduation requirement.

8. Walking to class in the the cold, or the snow

Giphy

The only thing that makes this worse is when you get to your class room and it is a literal sauna. Why am I having to dress for two seasons here?

9.  Forgetting your umbrella in your car

Giphy

It's always the day of a surprise rain shower that you conveniently forgot your umbrella in your passenger seat.

10. Student Loans

Giphy

So eternally not thankful for crippling debt.

Happy Thanksgiving Y'all! ;)

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
