Thanksgiving break is the biggest tease you will ever encounter. You get to go home anywhere from three days to a whole week and spend time with family and catch up with all your high school friends that you still enjoy talking to. You get to sit around and eat tons of food, sleep in until 11 o’clock every day, and take a mental break from all your stress. Just when you are feeling on top on the world...break ends and you have to go back for two weeks, and then finals. All your professors are trying to cram because they spent too much time talking about their dogs or children the other 13 weeks you had class. All of your projects and papers seem to be due on the same day, all while you are attempting to gather up weeks worth of notes to prepare for all your finals. You can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it is a treacherous road to get there. The characters of "Friends" really understand us college students and tell the story very well:

1. Having a project due the day after you come back from break.

2. Professors cramming six more chapters into the final, IN ADDITION to the twenty other chapters you are trying to review already.

3. Trying to avoid anyone talking about doing anything that even resembles fun, because you definitely do not have time for fun.

4. Trying to study in the library with the 200 other people who don't know that you are supposed to be quiet in a library.

5. The moment when you realize you are literally going to crash and burn on the majority of your finals.

6. Stress eating becomes your favorite hobby because it is the only joy in your life for the next three weeks until break.

7. You don't even care what you look like in public anymore because you are running on one hour of sleep and dressing with the light on is not a priority.

8. Trying to give yourself pep talks in the bathroom mirror to get you through.

9. But then realizing that every day that passes means one day closer to winter break and you get more and more excited despite the fact that you are drowning in work.

10. You finally make it through those three weeks and you are heading home like...

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving break, but it is back to reality now....GOOD LUCK!
