Thanksgiving break; it’s a time for mental relaxation and eating full meals for the first time in a long time. We all forget about the 10 page research paper that is due the week following our return, or the take home test that needs to be done by Friday at midnight. Simply, our minds are fried. We couldn’t type another paper even if we wanted to, especially not while we are at home with our families. I’m not sure what these professors expect from us. Whether you are a freshman or a senior, we all know this same struggle
1. “I’m still recovering from my turkey coma, and I don’t plan on coming out of it any time soon.”
2. “I was going to use this time to check to see if I had any homework, but instead I chose Christmas shopping. Always choose Christmas shopping.”
3. “Is it worth my mental health to check my Blackboard account? Honestly it may do more harm than good at this point.”
4. “Because a research paper and a group project wasn’t enough for one week, we have a 60 question final as well. Makes sense.”
5. “This is a 100 level course that I took in order to fill in a credit, not a masters program. Calm yourself, sir.”
6. “Alright. I’m going to sit myself down and get a start on this study guide. Once I turn on some Christmas music…”
7. *Queue Mariah Carey*
8. “I DON’T WANT A LOT FOR CHRISTMAS..”
9. “That had to be done. Sorry neighbors."
10. “Wait. You know what that made me think of? ONLY THE BEST CHRISTMAS LOVE STORY”
11. *Searches all the channels desperately for "Love Actually"*
12. “Alright. It’s on in an hour. Until then, I am going to finish this study guide. I have to. I literally have no clue what half of these terms are.”
13. “Let me just turn on ABC Family for some background noise."
14. “YES, a Hallmark Movie.”
15. “Tis the season for diamond commercials.”
16. “EVERY KISS BEGINS WITH KAY.”
17. “This clearly isn’t working. TV is getting turned off. After I find out how she gets back out of being stuck inside that snow-globe.”
18. “Honestly, I’ve forgotten how to human. I go home for one week and suddenly I am transformed back to my pre-kindergarten self. Someone cook my dinner and spoon-feed me.”
19. “I feel like I’m forgetting to do something…”
20. “GOT IT. CHRISTMAS LIST TIME.”
21. “Yes, Forever 21, I know its cyber Monday. Quit torturing me.”
22. “Shit. I should go to the gym.”
23. “I refuse to go to the grocery store. I know, I have nothing left. I just refuse to adult right now.”
24. “Honestly, what is the obsession with group projects? It makes the entire process about 10,000 times slower. I’d be done with it by now if I was doing it by myself.”
25. “Okay, maybe not. But still.”
26. “I have one final during finals week. The rest of them are over “dead” week. I don’t know if I should feel happy or sad about that.”
27. “Christmas shopping me is happy about that, responsible me is not.”
28. “I should make a to do list. That way I can feel like I’m doing something productive.”
29. “#1, find ugly Christmas sweater for tomorrow night.”
30.“Okay. Now back to my study guide.”
32. “Wait, it’s 7:00, "Love Actually" is on. Sorry homework, this is vital for my mental health.”
33. “How many days till I get to go back home?”
