Top 6 Things I Can't Wait To Get Home To This Winter Break

wallpapercave

As the semester is winding down I have been thinking a lot lately about the things that I miss at home, I have had a fabulous fall semester but I am also super glad that winter break is just around the corner. So as I have been thinking about going home for the holidays I have compiled a top 6 list of the things I can't wait for when I go home after finals.

1. To spend time with my family.

This semester has been quite different for me than previous semesters. This time I got an on campus job that has required I stay at school most every weekend to work. Not that I am complaining at all because I love staying here on the weekends now that I am used to it but coming from a girl who went home every weekend its been a huge adjustment. So I just keeping thinking about being able to go home and spend more than 2 nights in my house.

2. MY FRIENDS

I miss them so dearly when I am at school. Don't get me wrong I am super blessed that a bunch of my friends came to the same school as me but at the same time there are a couple of them that are still 3 hours away and I miss them dearly.

3. My hometown

I never in my life thought I would miss anything about the teeny-tiny little town I grew up in but I have really started to miss the town, the people and just the atmosphere there.

4. My hometown work family

At home I work at a dental office that I miss terribly. The people I work with are more like family than just regular people. I miss being able to go and tell them all about my life and them give me the best advice and laugh at how funny my young life is.

5. The Mexican food

Don't get me wrong Richmond has some pretty great food but none of it in my opinion will ever compare to the Mexican food my hometown has to offer. Or maybe its just because they know my order when I walk in the door.

6. My parents

I would normally never ever admit this to them but I do miss them really bad when I am at school, not that I can't go without seeing them for a few weeks or anything like that but they are really my best friends and I miss them laughing at me for all the silly things I do at home or watching movies with them on the weekends. So yes, at this time in the semester I am the girl who can't wait to get home to spend time with her parents and I am no way ashamed of that, I'm actually thankful.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
