Winter Break, As Told By 'The Office'

Every college kid knows the excitement leading up to Winter Break. Even though you have to leave the school that you (hopefully) love so much, it's finally time to relax, recover from finals, and see your family and friends from home again. However, by the time Winter Break is coming to an end, your feelings might have changed.

1. You're done with finals and just eager to get home and out of school.

2. You're finally home and getting to reunite with everyone you love.

3. You realize that you're never going to unpack your suitcase because you're hoping your mom will wash your clothes and hang them up for you. Plus, you're only going to be home for a month so what's the point of unpacking?

4. You go out with your friends basically every night to make sure that you spend enough time together before you have to go back.

5. You get way too exhausted from all of the partying and decide to finally sleep for a good week straight.

6. It's finally Chanukah/Christmas and you can get some presents! But then you realize that you have absolutely no room to pack these things when you go back to school.

7. Spring Semester is right around the corner and you know that you have to start packing, but whatever show you're watching on Netflix is much more important.

8. There's only one week left until you leave, and it's time to start buying textbooks and any new school supplies you might need.

9. Now there's only two days left and it's actually time to start packing, so you recruit your family to help you get everything squished into one huge suitcase before you leave.

10. It's you last day at home and you have to say goodbye to all of the family and friends that you missed during the first semester. However, you know that you're super excited to get back on campus and see your college friends.

11. After your plane/car/train ride that felt like forever, you're finally back at college and you can get back to doing whatever you want and fall into your routine again.

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.

Oh college, lovely, lovely college. A four-year time span that is filled with many highs and many lows. Between procrastinating on an essay that is due at midnight to getting your first library card (if you know what I mean), college is a time that you should not take for granted, yet it is also a time where you feel like your entire world is falling apart. It is a time where one day you can feel like you are on top of the world and then the next day you are 500 feet below the ground surface.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.
