The Struggles of Going Back to School After Thanksgiving Break

Going back to school for the final weeks of the semester is always one of the hardest things to do, but push through. You will make it.


Getting the motivation to leave home and go back to school is a joke.

You get back on campus and have no energy to do the homework you didn’t do over break.

Going to bed at a reasonable time is impossible because you spent every night over break watching Netflix until 2 a.m.

You hit snooze on your alarm close to 17 times the next morning.

You show up to class and don’t want to pay attention because how much more can you really learn during the last two weeks?

The weeks seem to move slower and slower.

Then, when finals week gets here, it feels like it came by way too fast.

You look at your final and feel as though you didn't even read the textbook (whether or not you actually did).

After finals, you feel so good, you’re excited to go home, you can't wait to pet your dogs and sleep in.

Then, you remember that you have to start the process over again next semester.

But maybe next semester will be better, right?

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
