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.

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.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

You're pretty much feeling yourself. New haircut, clothes, shoes, everything. New year, new you, right? You're ready for this semester to kick off.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
