Winter Break In College, As Told By "Bob's Burgers"
TV Guide

You've finally taken your last exam, the car is packed up with what is definitely too much stuff, you've exchanged gifts and said goodbye to your friends, and the relief is finally setting in.

It's winter break! Finally, after a semester that's seemed to last for a million years, you finally get to go home. A welcome respite from crowded dorm living, sub par dining hall food, and infinite stacks of coursework. Where winter break in high school was only over a week long, in college we get a whole month off--and we definitely need it.

This is my fourth (and last) winter break in college, and over the years I've noticed some trends. With the help of Bob's Burgers, here's winter break summed up in a few gifs.

1. When your Christmas excitement level is at 1000% when you first come home.


Catch my tree in the background of every one of my Instagram photos for the next month.

(Kidding.)

(Not really.)

2. Dealing with family insanity during holiday parties.

"Why are you so grouchy? It's Christmas."

Please don't ask me about my post-graduation plans until after my first glass of wine has been completed, thanks!

3. Arguing with your friends about New Year's plans in the group chat.

Just kidding, love youuuuu! But seriously. Chill out.

4. Going back to your hometown job where your motivation is nonexistent, and your boss knows it.

I'm really appreciative you gave me hours over the break, but all I want to be doing is laying in my bed watching Netflix and snuggling with my pets.

5. Tossing any semblance of eating normally out the window until the holiday candy is finished.


Not my fault Aunt Sharon gave me that jumbo-sized box of Ferrero Roche for Christmas.

6. Catching up with your hometown friends about their fall semester shenanigans.


....which basically mostly consists of talking smack about college boys.

7. When your parents get sick of you staying up until 3 AM every night binging Netflix.

I HAVE 7 MORE SEASONS TO FINISH IN THE NEXT 3 WEEKS, I CAN'T STOP RIGHT NOW.

8. Realizing near the end of winter break that your sleeping schedule is completely messed up...because of Netflix.

Great thing I have an 8 AM class starting up in a week!!!

9. Thinking about all of your college friends and how much you miss them.

@ God: why did you give me so many wonderful people who live 2+ hours away??

10. When you're finally back at school and ready to make a mess of another semester.


I'll miss my parents, I'll miss my own shower, I'll miss my dog....but man, there's nothing to remind you how much you love college like a month away from it.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
