With the semester wrapping up, students everywhere are looking forward to winter break. Whether it's the Christmas holiday or a family vacation, it's a time for everyone to take a break from classes and unwind a bit. Here are some things I'm looking forward to this winter break.


Christmas

The Christmas season is one of my favorite times of the year. I love going out to pick the Christmas tree and decorate it. It's not about the presents, but rather about the joy and time spent with family.

No Homework

Really, I think every student is excited for the late nights, countless assignments, and hours upon hours of studying.

Seeing Friends

I haven't seen my friends from home since Thanksgiving break, and before then August. It's nice to have a solid month to be able to see them multiple times.

Spending Time With Family

Not just on Christmas, but over the course of the entire break. Whether it's my mom & brother's birthday, seeing my cousin who goes to school in Nashville, or going to see my brother play varsity basketball for the first time, this break gives me the opportunity to see them often.

Being Able To Sleep In My Own Bed

The small, uncomfortable twin-sized bed here at school gets old real quick.

Not Having To Spend Money On Groceries

For one whole month, I'll just have my parents get some stuff I may need. At least I'll be able to keep my bank account in the positives.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
