Ah, finally. Finals are done and school is out for the holiday season. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year! There are a few things that people forget about when it comes to going home for the holidays especially coming out of your first semester of college. It will be the best and the worst month of your life and heres a few short reasons why.

First off, it's really hard to relax. After constantly going and doing mass amounts of work and having to make deadlines that you probably procrastinated for the past week and a half, it's really rough to just sit back and relax without thinking of things that you have to do, or at least you think you have to do. Just try and focus on what's going on now and not so much of what you have to do when you go back. Put the laptop away and focus on who you are with in that moment.

Second, you're going to get really, really bored. Without Having your friends a door away you will basically be sitting with your parents and watching Netflix all day. This isn't a bad thing and this is what a break literally means but that gets old very quick when you're doing it for a whole month. Try reading the book you've always wanted to read or even picking up a new hobby to help you unwind!

Lastly, going back to school is probably the worst thing ever. So while you're extremely bored out of your mind and your mom is yelling at you to do the dishes. Just remember that in a short month you'll be back to dining hall meals and doing your own laundry again. Focus your attention of what you're doing now because you have a few more months of that crazy life you life back at college. Enjoy it while it lasts and just think that you can look forward to summer break.

1. Why is Wilson Hall so complicated to navigate? Even as a senior, I still get lost in Wilson. As a freshman, I was warned about the unnecessary complexity of the building, was laughed at by upperclassman for my confused looks on the first day of school and walked and rewalked the whole hall before finding my classroom. #annoying.

Blair Waldorf For governor of new york

Cynthia Nixon, a.k.a Miranda from Sex and the City, is running for governor of New York. I think that this would be the best decision that has been made in a while solely based off of the fact that almost no one knows New York like the cast of Sex and the City. This got me thinking about who else would be a good candidate to take over the city of dreams. Then I realized that Blair Waldorf, if she were a real person, would be my number one choice for governor. Here are five reasons why Queen B would be an excellent ruler.
