What Thanksgiving Break Is Really Like For Us

Around this time in the semester, life starts getting a little hard for college students. We're all getting a little tired and schools getting to be a little annoying. I'd say I'm not just speaking for myself that we definitely all need Thanksgiving break. Here's what it is really like, for us college students.

1. Piling up all your laundry the week before so that you can bring it home and have your mom do it.

No way I'm going to wash my clothes when my mom can do it in a week. Just hoping I have enough socks and underwear to make it until then...

2. Realizing it's starting to get cold at school but a lot of your winter clothes are still at home.

Wasn't planning on bringing my winter jacket till break, so this will have to do.

3. It isn't worth it to buy groceries the week before you leave so you start eating whatever you can find to survive.

Does anyone have any milk to spare?? Or cereal?

4. Listening to your Professors speak the Friday before you're going home.

Should've just cancelled class in the first place, cause no ones paying attention.

5. Walking out of your last class.

We think were going to do all these activities on Thanksgiving break, but really you just plant yourself on the couch for multiple hours or days.

7. Thinking you're gonna get back in shape at home and doing the exact opposite.

8. Especially on Thanksgiving.

True.

9. Surprising your family cause you're actually expressing how much you've missed them.

10. Realizing Thanksgiving break is a TEASE and finals are next week.

The week goes by way too fast, and before we know it we just have to get back in the swing of things and start studying for finals. But hey at least we got home cooking and our comfy beds for a week.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
