Ah, Christmas break. There's nothing like a refreshing few weeks with your family! Here is Christmas break, told by Disney.
1. NO MORE FINALS!
Okay, I guess this does mean that we are going to have to face our grades soon, but it's better than staying in the library way past a semi-acceptable time. No studying for a few weeks? I'll take it.
2. But...but...our friends?
What do you mean we don't get to walk down the hallway and see our friends? You mean some of them are a plane ride away? What if I have a life crisis? Right. That's why Facetime was invented. Obviously.
3. Ah, finally get to see my family!
Yes, my family. But...mostly my dog. I will be spending as much time as I possibly can with my dog.
4. There's so much FOOD.
I'm definitely not used to cooking my own food anymore and it is a slight pain to have to. But there's food all over the house! I don't have to walk in the freezing cold snow if I want lunch! A break from massed produced food is always a plus.
5. Did I lock my dorm room door...?
Wait...did I lock my door? Did I turn off the Christmas lights? Did I close the window? If I haven't gotten an angry email from the college, does that mean that I did everything right and I'm not going to have to barter my life to pay a fine? Probably not, but I'm going to go with it.
6. I haven't started Christmas shopping.
Right. Christmas shopping is a thing. Think my family would buy the excuse that I didn't have time to go shopping? But there's Amazon. So that's not going to work.
7. What do I want for Christmas? Practical things.
Remember when you were mad to get underwear for Christmas? Not anymore. Bring on the practical stuff! Pots and pans? Please! Food in general? You know me so well.
8. High school friends!
WOW WOW WOW I missed all of you! Tell me about your life, tell me about college, your classes, your new friends, the crazy parties you've been to! I want to know every little tiny detail about your new life. I want to know everything! I've missed you so dang much.
9. Wait...what's that? A billing statement?
College, let me explain something to you. Getting an email about how much money I owe you for the last semester is not my idea of fun. In fact, it really sucks. I'm attempting to spend time with my family and ignore the fact that I have college loans looming over my head for the next four years.
10. Man, I miss my campus.
I never thought I'd miss food from the Caf, studying all night, and being around people all the time. But, I miss it like crazy and I can't wait to go back. Wow.
