What I'll Miss About Bristol Community College During Winter Break

School is very stressful but I am not ready for winter break and I am going to miss quite a lot about it.

I am an active community college student with little-to-no life outside of the borders of my college campuses.

I am active in my college's student governmental body, I work as a tutor at my college, I am an honors student, and I run a club at one of the college's campuses. These activities make me stay engaged and active during the school semesters but often I begin counting down the days until winter break with anticipation for having little to do during the class-free period of the year. Then, the first day of winter break comes around and I realize that I have nothing to do for the next month and a half. Here are the seven things I'm going to miss about my college, Bristol Community College, during the school break.


1. Pay Day

On the Friday after break starts, I'll wake up and quickly notice that I am without paychecks for the winter break. During the school year, I am employed as a tutor for various college subjects and I get paid for it. This is a harsh thing for me to go without, seeing how poorly I manage my money even when I do get paid.

2. Club

At my college, I (along with several other great club officers) organize and run a comic book club where students that share the common interest of comic books meet up and discuss various related topics. Comic books are a passion of mine and it is a great opportunity to talk to and meet up with others who share this passion; however, the club doesn't meet over winter break and I'll be stuck reading comics alone during the break.

3. Friends

Many of my friends are much like me and they spend a vast majority of their time camping out at the campus between classes and often we entertain each other with a game of Magic the Gathering or accompany each other while doing homework. The holidays are filled with family time and trips for many of us and therefore we hardly see each other while out of classes.

4. Faculty and Staff

This is going to sound extremely lame, but the faculty and the staff at every one of the campuses that I attend are tremendously helpful and friendly day after day. I can always count on them for whatever I need and they are also just super nice people to hang around with and talk to.

5. Daily Schedule

The idea of a daily schedule has always been important for me because it keeps me busy and active. School is an effective way to keep me engaged and this is a big thing I will miss. I feel that a lot of people struggle when they have no schedule or routine and I am no exception.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
