If you have just recently returned home for winter break and are about to head out to see family, you are probably already preparing yourself for the worst. Time with your family and the same exact carols and presents. It will be like an awful re-run of Thanksgiving. Here is a list of things you will most likely experience when you are with your family. Enjoy the holidays and remember your dorm awaits you in a few weeks.

1. When your great Aunt/Uncle keep asking how you are doing as if you aren't having a mental breakdown.

2. Your Grandma will want to discuss your grades and you will have to smile and change the subject in hopes she won't know the truth.

3. When someone asks about your future plans and why you don't have a boyfriend/girlfriend.

4. Your Uncle will fist bump you because he thinks it is still cool. Don't avoid it just accept your fate.

5. You are forced to sing 12 days of Christmas in groups so everyone gets one of the days. This year you got 7 Swans a Swimming.

6. When you finally get to eat dinner and you compare it to what it might feel like to win the lottery.

7. You then open that card filled with money and feel like you actually did just win the lottery.

8. The one cousin that is your favorite finally pulls up so you guys can just complain together the whole time.

9. When you get a scarf from your Aunt for the fifth year in a row.

10. When you smile because this is your crazy family but you are starting to miss college.

11. When your little cousin asks you about Santa and you panic.

12. Watching one of your family members get drunk.

13. When someone suggests listening to Christmas songs. Or if your family is musically inclined, someone pulls out a trumpet.

14. When your dad starts telling that story he tells every year.

15. When you realize you are just like the rest of your family.
