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.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning. No matter how functionally dysfunctional your friend group may be, if you're anything like me, you feel absolutely blessed to have found such a wonderful group of humans to call "your people."
