It's that lull in between semesters -- a strange few weeks when the green-eyed monster (otherwise known as college) has released you from its wrath. You embrace this freedom and the absence of responsibility gives you nothing but relief after sacrificing sleep and sanity for finals. After all, being a college student is hard work; it's physically and mentally challenging. Kind of like trying to solve an impossible puzzle month after month -- trying to piece your life together -- only you're going blind. So, you're frantic and growing hunchbacked, and that puzzle isn't coming together all that well. No really, that's exactly what college is like.

In the beginning of winter break, you want to do absolutely nothing. Your room becomes your hobbit hole. You start eating meals here. You leave the remote, cell phone, and anything else seemingly important on your bed so that you won't have to get up in between episodes of "Game of Thrones." Days blur together in an ongoing mesh of TV marathons, sporadically-eaten meals, and naps -- lots of naps. You forget what fresh air feels like.

However, by the second week in, you start to feel it: that paranoid feeling that you should being doing something with your life other than, well, nothing. Surely you forgot about an assignment during finals, or maybe you should use this awkward period of "nothingness" to plan out your future. Perhaps get a job for the three or four weeks that you're home. But, you should be resting, right? After a semester of hell, it only makes sense that your body and mind would need some downtime. All the while, being school-less really does have its negatives. When your only sense of direction is the way to your bed, you start questioning your worth has a potential contributor to society. You've lost your drive. And there's no Viagra-like pill to revive your urge to get back into the schoolwork saddle.

If you're on break from college, you've probably said one or more of the following in light of this internal dilemma.

1. "What day is it?"

2. "Why did I ever leave home?"

3. "Why would you not binge watch (insert Netflix show here)?"

4. "I'll shower tomorrow."

5. "Is this real life?"

6. "Bed, will you marry me?"

7. "I am literally the stink spirit from 'Spirited Away.'"

8. "I'll unpack tomorrow."

9. "I'm so tired from sleeping so much."

10. "No pants, no problem."

11. "Why did I pack so many clothes?"

12. "How is it dark already? I just got up."

13. "It's vacation. I'll have pie."

14. "One more episode. Then I'll check my grades."

15. "GPA should really stand for Giant Panic Attack."

16. "Next semester I'll be a rock star. Next semester ain't ready for that sh*t."

17. "Should I look nice today?"

18. "I low-key miss school. A lot."

19. "I'm never getting up though."

20. "Everything was fine and then I checked my textbooks for next semester."

21. "Mom, can we hang out?"

22. "Maybe I should get a hobby."

23. "What am I doing with my life?"

24. "Maybe I should make one of those cool recipes from Facebook."

25. "I have nothing to do so I guess I'lll take another nap."

26. "I should probably read a book. Haven't done that in awhile."

27. "What if I'm this pants-less slob for the rest of my life?"

28. "What if I can't remember how to think when I go back next semester?"

29. "My only recent accomplishment is eating my weight in potato chips."

30. "Thank god I'm going back to school.
