Thoughts every college student has while spending the Holiday's at home, as told by The West Wing and The Newsroom.

1. That Moment When A Conversation Turns Political.

You knew it was gonna happen, but you were still praying it wouldn't. Then someone brings up Hilary Clinton's emails and it all goes downhill from there.

2. When Someone Starts Talking About Jobs

I am not interested in getting a job and not going to grad school.

3. When Your Family Tells You Not to Go Out

I am an adult and I do what I want.

4. When Your Parents Wake You Up Super Early to Go See Family

You love seeing the fam-bam. You do not, however, love seeing the sun rise.

5. When Your Family Doesn't Agree With You On Where/When/What to Eat

Listen. Going to a Buffet at 5 pm is cool. I promise.

6. When Someone Asks if You Are Single

Yes. I was last year, and the year before that, and the year before that. If my relationship status changes, I'll send out a special announcement.

7. When Your Parents Tell You Leggings Are Not Pants

As longs as you wear longer shirts, they are pants. It is a fact.

8. When Your Facebook Friends Start Posting Their Engagement Photos

I'll just go buy another Santa hat for my chihuahua. Yeah. That'll make me feel better.

9. When You Are Accused of Being a Crazy Liberal

Yes. I have been brainwashed by the establishment. Thank you for noticing.

10. When You Get Home and You Know There Will be Real Food

After a whole semester of dining hall food, the good stuff tastes pretty darn delicious.

11. When You Realize You Will Have to Go Back

You will have to go back to campus and after having tasted the promised land, it will not be pleasant.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
