So you're home for the holidays...now what?

At first when you get home, you are so freaking excited! You finally get to sleep and you don’t have to think about school for at least a month. You are looking forward to doing absolutely nothing school related, catching up with old friends, and cuddling with your animals.

Then it gets to the holiday celebration part and suddenly there are really happy people everywhere and you see more people than you every really wanted to see. Of course, there's also the Christmas parties and fruitcake.

Then the extended family members arrive from out of town. You are quickly reminded why you all only get together once a year.

However, they do come bearing gifts, which are sometimes so good you think you might actually send a thank you card.

Then it’s New Years and you make your list of resolutions.

Then two weeks later your resolutions have been broken because of Holiday leftovers and home cooking.

At this point you have seen all of the people you wanted to catch up with, your family has asked you 12 different times what you plan to do with the rest of your life and who you're dating, and you spend a lot of time hiding in your room watching Netflix and pretending to be asleep.

You can’t wait to be back at school with your friends and you weirdly miss classes because it gives you something to do.


Give it a couple weeks and you’ll be wishing you were dealing with your family again.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
