After experiencing two winter breaks, I've noticed a trend...

Stages 1: We out.

Finals have sucked the life out of you and you just want to LEAVE.

Stage 2: Hibernation mode.

NO alarms allowed.

Stage 3: Netflix.

Hours and hours of guilt-free binge-watching. YES.

Stage 4: Time to PARTAYY.

With holiday spirits high and New Year's Eve right around the corner, there's nothing holding me back.

Stage 5: Eating home-cooked meals.

I have endured my own cooking far too long.

Stage 6: Reunions with high school friends.

You realize how civil everyone has become.

Stage 7: BOREDOM.

You've watched everything on Netflix and nobody seems to be free.

Stage 8: Reflection.

Break is almost over, and the impending semester is slowly becoming a reality. It's time to think about all the mistakes you've made, all the lessons you've learned, and all the resolutions that will be broken (just kidding, I believe in you).

Stage 9: Exhaustion.

The post-celebration slump when you've used up all your energy, and also realized being home means having to put up with your parents' nagging (but they love you and you'll eventually miss that during school).

Stage 10: Appointments galore.

It's more convenient back home...and I have SO much time.

Stage 11: Kinda missing school.

Yeah, it's been a while since I've been a productive human being and I miss my friends at school.

"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.

8 Things That Make You Feel Like You Have Your Life Together

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.
