The One About Things to Look Forward to After Finals

We all know how stressful finals week is and if you’re like me, you worry way too much about school! But, luckily this will all be over in a week. I am looking forward to a lot of sleeping, eating bagels and pizza, and hanging out with friends. Here are some things that we all have to look forward to after finals:

1. Family

I am never one to get sappy over missing my family, but I actually do! I love being on my own and feeling independent, but the holiday season is not the same without my family. I'm looking forward to picking out our Christmas tree and decorating it as soon as I get home. I can’t wait to see the house all decorated and to have Christmas music blasting 24/7. I am also looking forward to a well deserved month and a half off from school!

2. Dogs

Snuggles from humans are not the same as cuddling with a puppy. My dog is either running around like crazy or sleeping, so I am excited to be able to relax with her. Leaving for school freshman year was really hard because we had just got Lucy, so I feel like I am constantly missing out on her life. I can not wait to be home and receive endless amount of love from the cutest dog in the whole world while I lay on the couch all day and binge watch The Walking Dead. Maybe if we’re lucky there will be a Harry Potter weekend soon too!

3. Holidays

The Christmas season is not the same when you have hundreds of tests to study for. The lead up to Christmas is one of the best feelings ever. I love spending time with my sisters, decorating the tree, wrapping gifts, and keeping up with our family tradition of watching Muppet Family Christmas on Christmas Eve. The only Christmas vibe here at Cortland is the snow we get everyday. Hopefully we get a White Christmas back on Long Island.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:

While being home for break this week and picking up hours at work, I remember what it is like to in fast food. Although there are many aspects to the job, the customers are always number one priority. Anyone who works in fast food knows that you come across these types of customers AT LEAST once a day:
