Winter break is always welcomed with open arms, especially from College students. However, there are specific stages that the average student goes through over break.
1. Wow, I can't wait to get home.
With finals finally over, or close to it, the only thought you have is getting into your car and getting the f*** off campus. The anticipation of the Christmas festivities will soon be underway...
2. Yes, I'm home!
Finally you’re home and all you want to do is hug your mom and stuff your face with Christmas cookies.3. Yes, my friends are home!
You can’t wait to start all the fun, festive activities that you planned with your friends over Thanksgiving break… Ice-skating, gingerbread house building, drinking, watching "Love Actually," making ornaments, exchanging secret Santa gifts, drinking...
4. Yes, Party!
Whether it’s with family or with friends, who doesn’t love a good ol’ fashion holiday party with ugly sweaters and all? There’s not much time left before Christmas, so savor the eggnog while it’s in season.
5. OK, ready for Christmas.
There are still four days until Christmas, you’re over sugar cookies, and you’ve gotten all your shopping done. Admit it, you can’t wait to rip into that big gift under the tree with your name on it.
6. Woo, Christmas!
You wake up at 6 a.m. but pretend not to care, so you play on your phone until 8 a.m. and wake everyone else up so you can get the show on the road! You put on a different pair of PJs… the cute Christmas ones… and make sure your hair looks good for the photos your mom takes.
7. Woo, New Year's!
Your plans for New Year's are almost always either no plans at all or 3230485 different invites. So get your perfectly sparkly outfit together, have fun, and forget about a New Year's resolution because you're perfect already.
8. Ugh, the season's over.
With the holidays over, it's natural to fall into a post-holiday depression. Time to exchange that ugly sweater that your mom got your from Hollister and put it towards more coffee from Starbucks. Oh, and start ordering books for spring semester.
9. Ugh I'm ready to go back to school.
It's been great being home, but your parents start controlling when you can go out and to clean your room... Once your friends head back to their schools, you can't wait to be reunited with your roommate and school friends.
