The new semester is here! You're wishing you had more money after buying those textbooks, and you're rifling through those new syllabi. So with that, it's time we did a recap of Winter Break for you. It's shorter than summer break, but you probably did a lot of different things and acted in a lot of different ways over break.
But right now, you're probably getting settled in and ready for the new semester, along with reverting back to "college mode," so let's take a moment to acknowledge the 18 people you were over break.
1.) A sloth
I guess this isn't technically a person, but it should count. After all those late nights and all-nighters you had to take some time to sleep. And sleep you did. Like a lot. You probably woke up one day and didn't know if it was night or day.
2) The fat lazy bum who does nothing all day, every day
You finally decided to get out of bed, but still, after that long strenuous, and difficult semester it was time to indulge.
3.) The last minute shopper
Let's be honest, you didn't have time to buy gifts in college with all that work and then you had to sleep. It was the earliest you could even go shopping.
4.) A little kid
Christmas brings out the little kid in you again and for a moment you're excited like when you were in the 1st grade and Santa was coming. SAAANTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
5.) The respectful mature young adult
And then you had to compose yourself and act like the proper young adult that you are at the Christmas party, like this beautiful overly perfect picture of a family in this stock photo. After all, you're not that little kid anymore.
6.) The less than responsible young adult.
You probably got a little less than responsible afterwards. Maybe it was the punch, maybe there was some wine, maybe it was something else. Maybe you just couldn't take the "so what are going to do after college" questions anymore.
7.) The party animal
You had to get at least one big party in, right? You wouldn't be a college student without it, right?
8.) The low wage worker
Back to your low wage job, though. Except, you wish that you worked at an expensive enough restaurant where you had to dress this fancy. At least you're making money.
9.) The obsessed pet owner
Yeah, we've all seen all of your snapchats of your pets.
10.) The vacationer
You probably took some time to get away at some point.
11.) The young ambassador
And you likely had to take some time to go see some important speaker, travel somewhere with a relative, go to a conference, or some other miscellaneous important thing.
12.) The Growing Individual
And maybe over your extended break home with your parents you grew to understand them a little more. You're starting to see why they did the things they did for you, value them more, and see the wisdom that they have, despite the flaws that you may think you see from your younger perspective.
13.) The chauffeur
But your parents may have made you into a chauffeur for your younger siblings too.
14.) The Internet Junkie
And when you weren't doing any of that, you probably found yourself lost in the wondrous world of the internet. But really, you couldn't get enough of your pet that you had to look pets up online too?
15.) The old wise man.
With all that time off though, you probably took some time to contemplate life. Hopefully you came to a profound realization and weren't just sitting around wasting time, though.
16.) The budding changemaker
Perhaps from your meditations you came to an amazing idea or two, you budding changemaker you. You'll be changing the world and innovating in no time.
17.) The panicked student
But you had to put any of that off, because you took a moment to panic, remembering there were things that you actually wanted to get done.
18.) The college student
And finally, you were that guy who couldn't wait to go back to college. Man, what a break it was.
Have fun this semester!
