We college students know what it's like to leave for months and them come back home. We reunite with old friends and catch up. We reminisce about all the memories we shared and make promises for new memories. Here are a few topics that are sure to happen with your besties over the holidays

1. Family Updates

"My brother's having a kid!"

"My sister is getting married!"

"My parents want to move to [insert obscure city here]!"

The family updates have to be thorough since we only see each other a handful of times per year. Plus, being friends on Facebook with each other's mom only goes so far when it comes to updates!

2. Relationship Drama

Hookups, breakups, anniversaries... you name it. We all meet up and spill tea, happily and boldly.

3. Hometown Happenings

We come back and catch up on who's who and what's what! For example, that person did what? She's pregnant? Not that it's any of our businesses but you know how we ladies are.

4. Relive Some High School Memories

Since we're all back in the town where we grew up together, we have to make a trip down memory lane and talk about all of the cringy and awkward memories we've made in the past.

5. What's Going On Now

Of course, we have to catch up on what we're all doing now. Who's going to college, who's working, who's graduating, and so much more. It's so hard to keep in touch and so much harder to keep track of who's doing what and what everyone's plans are, we have to cover all the bases while we're together.

6. "I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH"

Before we go, we have to: hug at least a hundred times, talk about how good it is to be together again, and say how much we've missed each other. We'll make plenty more plans to get together over break but until then, I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
