9 Signs That You're Home For Winter Break

What every college student has been waiting for since half way through September is finally here. Winter break. An entire month without a care in the world. The finals have been taken. Christmas has come and gone. It's a new year. But winter break, you've come to realize, isn't always everything you dreamed it would be. Here's some things you've probably done or will do in the awkward second two weeks of winter break.

1. You're constantly annoying your friends and family about hanging out

"Hey guys, who's home?" "Guys I'm so bored WYD?" "Who wants to hang out??" Your group message probably looks something like this, with the entire conversation in blue messages because you sent them all. Why is no one answering? What could they possibly be doing? If it makes you feel any better, they're probably just sleeping.

2. You've made multiple kinds of cookies out of boredom

So what do you do after you binge watched an entire show in two days and actually don't want to be laying in bed anymore? You bake! You've looked up all the easy recipes on Pinterest and been to the store multiple times for ingredients. This is one of the classic pretending to be productive moves. And let's be real, you ate most of what you made yourself.

3. You're checking at least three times a day to see if first semester grades are posted

Schmidt is right, it's probably better if you don't know what you got on that last final.

4. You have to fight your younger sibling for the "kid" car

Even though everyone knows you're the better, more responsible driver, "your" car has now become your little sibling's car. This leaves you in the awkward middle situation of looking for the spare key and having to ask which car to take every time you leave the house.

5. You haven't been up before noon in over a week

Extra points if you also took a nap at 3 p.m..

6. You begged the boss from your summer job for some hours

Anyone need a babysitter? Can I come in and clean something? By the end of first semester, your savings are depleted and you have to make some money for what will ultimately go towards pizza and Uber when you get back to school.

7. You see random strangers on your college friends' snapchat stories

Literally, who even are these people? How could your college friends even have fun without you?? You know you're hours apart, but you still have FOMO.

8. You went to Target twice in one day

First you went to Target and looked at everything you couldn't afford. Then you obviously went back with your mom so she would buy you things that you need.

9. You go to high school functions but hope no one sees you

You make the excuse that you only came to watch your younger siblings, but you still hold your breath when you walk by the student section. You used to own this school. What happened? Yes, current seniors, I know I need to close the yearbook.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
