Now that "Halloweekend" has run its course, it's time for college students everywhere to head back to reality and buckle down for the month of November. As with most things, we find a common ground in the thoughts that cross our minds. More often than not, these thoughts should probably stay in our heads. But, also more often than not, they end up erupting from our sleep-deprived, coffee-stained lips without a second thought. Sorry, we just have a lot on our minds...exams are practically looming over our heads like swords and the string shall soon be severed. It's a pressing time for us.

I mean, we're not wrong though. Here are 16 phrases you're likely to hear on college campuses in November.

1. "How much longer until Thanksgiving?"

There are one of two mindsets that most college kids fall under. One of the most obvious is those of us who wake up on November 1st and immediately crave roasted turkey, mountains of mashed potatoes, and enough pumpkin pie to entirely gut the fields of every pumpkin patch in the nation. And then there's the larger majority...

2. "How much longer until Christmas?"

...and then there are those of us that live in the mindset that November 1st begins the countdown to Christmas. Odds are, more of us fall into this category than others. I mean come on...three days and a weekend versus two whole weeks with no classes? Which would you look forward to more?

3. "How much longer until break?"

Sure we just finished Fall Break but this whole "adulting" while still managing class thing is getting really difficult...no, seriously. How am I expected to write a paper, finish my laundry, attend a fifth-hour lecture, and feed myself all while maintaining a social life that is all too crucial for that sacred "work-play balance?"

4. "Does the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving special classify as a valid excuse to miss class?"

Although it probably doesn't count as a good reason to miss that one late-evening class you can't stand, you could write some kind of literary analysis on it, right? A cultural explanation for the amalgamation feast that Snoopy serves up in the iconic film? It may be worth a shot.

5. "No Shave November!"

The leaves and the temperatures have started to drop (unless you liven North Carolina, in which case you can rest assured you will be wearing shorts to your final exam.) Obviously it's time to start thinking about conserving warmth. No Shave November advocates exactly that! Plus, you have so much to do (read as: so much Netflix to watch) that you just don't have time for such trivial things! One less thing to do, right?

6. "Do we really have to take Christmas card pictures?"

"Mom, I really don't have time to pose in stupid footie pajamas while some creepy guy takes our picture. This is not normal."

Insider tip: If you argue, footie pajamas may be the least of your worries. Do yourself a favor and just remain say "Christmas Trees."

7. "Just a few more papers stand between me and the best meal I've had in months."

Let's be real, everybody...not even the amazing, exotic desserts at Prime can compare to the nostalgia of a delicious slice of homemade pumpkin pie topped with whipped cream following a huge turkey dinner.

8."Probably should book a flight soon."

Yes, it is the start of the holiday season. Yes, you should book a flight. Like, yesterday.

9. "What am I most thankful for? Canceled 8 AMs."

At this point in the semester, you're kicking yourself for making the New School Year Resolution to make yourself an early riser for signing up for 8 AMs every day of the week. Reality check: you are not a morning person. Thank your professor for canceling class and hit snooze.

10. "What exactly am I going to do with my life?"

November brings thoughts of going home for Thanksgiving, which brings thoughts of being with family and friends that haven't seen you in a while...which brings anxiety over the dreaded question "so what are you going to do with your life?" Grandma, I didn't know before August and that certainly doesn't mean I know now.

11. "Probably should have studied for that midterm..."

So let's talk about that Netflix marathon you decided to indulge in just before midterms. No big deal right? It can't possibly hurt to skimp on studying just a little bit, right? Wrong. Now you're looking at an upcoming final that is life or death (er...pass or fail...same difference) to your academic career. It's the final countdown...and not just to the holidays.

12. "Seriously...when can I start my Christmas list?"

If there's one thing college students across the nation absolutely adore it's free things. What's the next best thing to free? "I didn't have to pay for it!" Getting gifts is pretty much the same thing, right? And who doesn't love getting up early to sling wrapping paper everywhere in their PJs? The Christmas list brings all of this, folks, and if you want your Christmas to be any fun you have to start early. It's just the way things are.

13. "Class sign-ups? This means war."

You stayed up all night crafting the perfect schedule. The perfect classes, the perfect times, the perfect professors...there's nothing that's going to stand between you and the perfect spring semester now. Nothing.

14. "Do I want to freeze to death or die of heatstroke today?"

Okay, so maybe this one is a little more relevant for those of us in the southern states. Just hear me out: it is really hard to get dressed for an entire day of classes when the forecast says you will need a down jacket, fleece-lined pants, tall socks, and snow boots to walk to your first class but shorts, a tank top, and flip-flops will cut it to walk to your last class. Long story short: layers become your best friend when it comes time to dress for "southern fall."

15. "I was almost late for class because I had to have a picture of the leaves. Worth it."

Let's face it: everybody knows that the best part of fall is the gorgeous scenery. The sun shining through the amber leaves, the smattering of oranges and reds across the sidewalks all over campus, the glorious cornucopia outside of Slane...everybody knows you don't pass up such a wonderful opportunity for a selfie. The next logical step is to abandon your books under the nearest tree and rake all of the leaves into a pile before jumping into them, reminiscing on your childhood days. The only problem is, now you're sprinting to class. Adulthood hits and it hits hard

16. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN EXAMS ARE IN A MONTH!?"

November means one thing: winter is upon is...and so are final exams. I hope you've studied.
