What Really Happens When You Come Home For Thanksgiving
Thought Catalog

It's that time of year again..

1) Brings 3 weeks worth of laundry home.

It's great to see you too, Mom! Here you go..


2) Casually pretending that finals are not around the corner


Please, it can wait right?


3) Fake smiling when the relatives ask how school is going

Isn't that your third time to take that class?... Isn't that your third husband??

4) Remembering how nice it is to not wear flip flops in the shower


And you don't have to dash in a towel across the dorm hall?? Sweet victory.

5)Getting to see all of your long distance besties

It's been like 3 months, we have a lot of catching up to do.

6) Finally catching up on sleep

Excuse me, I have a 15-hour nap I need to get to.

7) Wanting to black friday shop but you're too broke

Victoria's Secret is selling panties for WHAT???! *tears*

8) Jamming on the way home

That's my song!! *turns it up*

9) Getting caught up on the family drama at dinner


She did what?? Mom, I told you I was a good kid..


10) Channeling your inner Betty Crocker for Thanksgiving

I don't think it's supposed to look like that.


11) Stealing all the leftovers to bring back

Trust me, I need this more than you do.

12) Begging for gas money to get back to campus

Do you really want me stranded on the side of the road?


14) Feeling sad when it's time to leave

It's okay, Christmas will be here soon.

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!

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.

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.
