15 Experiences During Christmas Break, As Told By "Gilmore Girls"
Vox

If you're a college student like me- it's likely that you've been away at school for the past four months. With Christmas coming up soon, you're traveling home or already there. Here's fifteen things you may experience while home for the holidays, à la Gilmore Girls.

1. Going home and being able to spend time with your family. Especially your mom.


2. When you’ve been home for an hour and you’ve already talked too much that your family is telling you to go back to school and stop annoying them.


3. Being lazy while you’re at home and have no class-related responsibilities.


4. Watching Netflix and eating junk food.


5. Getting annoyed when your family interrupts your binge-watching.


6. Enjoying spending half the day in bed, doing nothing at all.


7. Laying in bed, thinking about all of the awkward things that happen to you at school, past, present, and future.


8. Sassing your family a bit with your clothing choices. Usually PJs every day, because why try when you’re just sitting around at home?


9. But on the other hand, trying to look halfway decent when you leave the house because you know there’s a 95% chance you’ll see people from high school at the grocery store.


10. Rethinking your caffeine intake, since you don’t have to pull all-nighters to finish homework and get up early for classes.


11. Because you’re not sitting around for the ENTIRE break, you have to go to work eventually, but the people there are annoying you.


12. Going back to your bed with more snacks and junk food because you didn’t do as well as you’d hoped in that hard class you took.


13. Feeling burnt out by the past semester (or the past five).


14. Dreading the Monday that you have to go back to school.


15. Then you remember that you graduate in 5 months. AHHH.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

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.
