10 Things College Students Do When They Get Home For Winter Break
The Odyssey Online

Going home for winter break and not having to worry about school for a few weeks is the one thing that keeps you sane during finals week.

The prospect of having some time to be lazy and not have responsibilities is both comforting and exciting. Every college kid knows what this hope feels like - and every college kid has one thing in mind that they cannot wait to do the second they get home. Here are the top 10 things college kids are planning to do the second they get home.

1. Play with your dog

Let's be honest... no one is more excited for you to be home than your dog.

2. Spend time with your family

Don't deny it, you missed them too.

3. Cry tears of joy

The excitement of being home can be quite overwhelming

4. Collapse on your bed

Dorm beds just don't cut it anymore

5. Eat a home-cooked meal

Mom's cooking > Caf pizza

6. Take a bubble bath

Lush bath bombs anyone?

7. Binge-watch mindless T.V. shows

Because now you can blow 12 hours of your day on nothing and not feel guilty

8. Bake chocolate chip cookies

There is something oddly comforting about the smell of chocolate chip cookies

9. Unpack your car but leave everything in your living room and never actually put anything away

It is just not worth it to really unpack when you can just leave all your stuff scattered around the house

10. Burn your old homework

Don't deny it; you want to light those calculus assignments on fire and watch them burn. Just the thought of looking at them anymore makes you cringe

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
