10 Strong Feelings Every College Student Has Going From Finals To Christmas, As Told By 'New Girl'

In This Article:

The transition from finals to home is crazy. There's a lot of emotions and things your family, and yourself, just aren't ready for.

If you need to prepare for it, here's what you might need to be prepared for, as perfectly told by "New Girl."

Somehow I'm still stressed 

Ever feel like you still need to study or do something even after you finish a class?? Currently in a constant state of stress and anxiety.

Confused on what to do now

After I realize I'm finished studying and finals have finished, I have no clue what to do next. Like should I read, start a new show, take up a hobby?

Super bored 

None of these options seem good and obviously the best option is to eat...everything.

Overjoyed to be finished 

A moment of joy occurs as you realize another semester is complete!

Realizing it's Christmas 

Oh no, finals just ended so now Christmas began and I'm missing all of it.

I can finally sleep 

*Realizes sleep can now be an option* (if I choose).

I might need a drink or two 

Hmm, I just realized I may need a drink in the alcohol variety, due to the fact that I'm still bored and stressed over the semester that just concluded.

You probably start preparing your speeches about your future for your family

Ah yay, holidays in which we can explain why X, Y, and Z didn't go as planned and prove that we didn't fail, this is all a part of the plan. This part certainly keeps life interesting.

Watching TV is EVERYTHING 

Now is the time to finally watch all the shows you missed! Or you can finally rewatch an old favorite. Or just watch something because you didn't for a decent amount of time.

 Family doesn't understand the new college habits 

Many of us take our college lives home with us. For example, your family might not be as okay with your new sense of style...or lack of style, depending on how you look at it. Like why can't I go out in public in my pajamas? NO ONE CARES AT SCHOOL.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
