The last couple of weeks before a long, much-anticipated break from school are always agonizing and slow-moving. This is the time when finals are staring at you like an angry bull, and the thought of being cozy at home with family for Christmas seems like the gates of heaven compared to the hell of cafeteria food and a bleak dorm room.

1. When you're stressing about the multiple final exams, projects, papers and everything else that are about to crash on you like a wave.
2. When you're eating the awful cafeteria food and just wishing it was a nice home-cooked meal.
3. When you and your friends are all suffering from exhaustion after constant studying and the bickering starts.
4. When that one model student tries to complain about finals on behalf of the class and everyone else is confused.
5. When you think about how much longer you have until break starts.
6. When you read an email from your professor about the ridiculous amount of work you have to finish before break.
7. When your family tells you about the people excited to see you at home again.
8. When you're walking to your finals, and your friends say goodbye...

12. Saying goodbye to your friends for the break and them being sad and you being lowkey just excited to be home and done with everything school related.
The last couple weeks before break are tough. To all my fellow college kids suffering:
