The Semester After Thanksgiving Break As Told By 'A Different World'

Terrance Moss via blogspot

Now that Thanksgiving is over and most of the turkey and dressing you've eaten has made its way to your thighs and other unwanted areas of your body, it's time to get back to reality. This means you are now at the point of your college semester where there is no more time for procrastination and it's time to hit the books harder now than ever. Who better to help get you through the rest of the semester than other college students sharing similar college experiences. Here is this rest of your college semester after Thanksgiving break as told by "A Different World."

Although the home-cooked meals during Thanksgiving break were much needed, a week later you're often left asking yourself "Why did I eat so much food during the break?"

It was nice to get a little Christmas shopping done over the break, but now you're broke again because you spent too much money on Black Friday shopping

You can't wait to get back to school to gossip with friends about all the things that went on during the break

Finals are just around the corner so the library becomes your home for the next week or so

On another note, Christmas break is only two weeks away

Look on the bright side; you're one semester closer to graduation

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.
